I can’t wait for this to be available to the general public. It’s pretty much the only thing that really concerns me when I’m out in nature.

I live in a tick-infested area. They come into the house. They bite you at night: I usually find them first thing in the morning as I'm getting dressed (they weren't there the previous evening when I prepared for bed). Their bites are (usually) painless, they stay latched on for one to three weeks, and the bites only really itch after they've dropped off (and then they really really itch and it takes about 18 months for the marks to disappear). And yes, I've been treated for active borelliosis more than once.
You can not escape them. They will come for you.
I hate mosquitos. One reason I like living in the city is bug levels are severely reduced.
Don't forget rabies! Or those California ground squirrels that chew through cars' brake lines.
Some campsites in Southern California having warning signs on their message boards about the Plague.
Rabies already has a vaccine.
Yes, but you need to get yearly boosters. You can get it for 5 USD in Thailand (on holiday)!
There’s also plenty of Hanta Virus around in old cabins and mines.
Or at your house. Mice in my area have it...
