Agreed- the psychological and physical health benefits attributed by several studies to regular exposure to wooded and rural outdoor spaces is almost certainly worth the risk.

Worth the risk of being food impaired for life? Don't know about that.

  There's a much greater chance you could die in a car accident, do you also avoid the highways?

    Personally I'd rather die than give up one of the main joys in my life.

      Technically, you always have the choice to convert the latter into the former.

        No thanks.

        Completely fair enough. But that seems to contradict your earlier statement that you'd prefer to die.

    Don't let perfect be the enemy of good. You can never 100% insulate yourself from all harm. But you can choose to reduce it where you see fit.

  You get used to diet modifications after a while, took me a year at least before I stopped 'mourning' my old diet so to speak. There's plenty of other delicious foods out there and it may go away eventually. There's plenty of outdoor spaces that are treated for ticks prevention to enjoy too, to get the best of both worlds.

I disagree as someone who spent all my time outside up through age 18 or so.
