"Ticks love to be in moist, low grass, so a lot of games, whether it's football, baseball, tend to happen in the morning. There may be dew on the grass and that's where a lot of ticks survive and hang out," Nesheiwat said. https://www.cbsnews.com/newyork/news/ticks-lyme-disease-cdc-putnam-county/ https://www.cbsnews.com/newyork/news/ticks-lyme-disease-cdc-... Lots of anecdotal evidence of ALS developing after tick bites, or more concretely infection with Borrelia Burgdorferi. Probably a genetic component, and other enviromental factors are also involved, but the only dramatic reversals of MND I have seen documented (or heard about) have been either with IV antibiotics [1][3], or years of Mercury chelation [2] [1] https://invisibledisabilities.org/award-recipients/2011awards/2011-research-award-david-martz-md/ https://invisibledisabilities.org/award-recipients/2011award...

In the recent book "Chronic" by Dr. Stephen Philips, he's frustrated since he can only treat successfully (outcome similar to Dr. Martz), with antibiotics, about 15% of his ALS-like patients. Considering how uniformly fatal ALS diagnosis is otherwise, even considering how skewed of a sample he might get (patients that already know they are Lyme positive or suspect it), still find it astonishing.
