 You would need to step outside of the house into a wooded area and wait 
 for an infected tick to bite you to get Lyme disease, something few tech 
 geeks have to worry about. Yes, this is just a joke.

Apparently we're fortunate up here in Canada; although there are thousands
of cases in the bordering US states, according to many doctors the ticks
don't cross the border:

"...most Canadian doctors are woefully uneducated about Lyme Disease,
erroneously believing that it does not occur in Canada."

This is *not* a joke!
