I think it's a good idea if you have the time to find some ticks in the woods where you live, have them tested to see if they have Bb or any other pathogens..

Directions: Put your tick in a small Ziploc baggie with a moist cotton ball or piece of wet paper towel. Include the document with your tick. Put the baggie and the document in a small padded envelope.
Free Tick Testing Now Available
Our goal at Bay Area Lyme Foundation is to provide individuals with free, timely information as to whether a tick they have encountered is — an infected or uninfected tick. By sending us your tick(s) you are participating in a citizen science project and national tick-collection/testing effort which will enable our scientists to compare past and potential future distributions of ticks and tick-borne disease. Our hope is that by collecting this data, we may be able to predict where risk of disease is most common. This program is not intended for clinical decisions or as a diagnostic tool. If you are wishing to use the analysis for your own personal health care decisions, you should send your tick to one of a number of pay-for-service companies that do allow for this type of diagnosis. (These services include IGeneX, and TickReport.)
