Often, when a Lyme infected tick bites, you get the famous bull’s-eye rash, but not always. Back in 1998, when I was graduating from college and hiking on wooded trails in Massachusetts, I learned to check myself for ticks.
One reason is, perhaps, that Lyme disease was a lot less common then. Case numbers have increased a lot over the decades; the numbers now are about three times what they were in the ’90s. So there probably wasn’t as much demand then as there is now. Partly it was this sense that there were some potential side effects.
