    I’ve had Lyme disease three times. I also live in the woods.

    It would be great to never get it again.

    Kind of an odd second order vaccination. You get vaccinated but can still catch Lyme. it would prevent the tick carrying Lyme in the future though, at least that’s how I understood it.
