When I was younger, it felt like half the ppl I knew survived by being in medical studies as their source of income.
As a result, I sometimes have difficulty taking study outcomes seriously! Because let me tell you, ~nobody getting paid to be in studies is telling the truth.
And sure, studies are designed to filter for that, but it’s much more difficult to control for coordinated deception. It used to be that people doing studies were a cohesive community & would help each other. One person would figure out the right answers or behaviors and then spread the word.
I saw addiction studies with no addicts, smoking studies with no smokers, sleep studies with groups of people alternating responsibility for wearing the monitor each night, etc etc
Now whenever I see the results of some study I kind of squint and try to imagine what the results mean if the participants are a preformed active coordinated group attempting to maximize the income for themselves and their friends.

If you're worried about ticks, put up an owl box.
The animal driving most Lyme disease in the eastern US is the white-footed mouse. Ticks that feed on them are far more likely to come away infected than ticks that feed on other animals. The bigger the local mouse population, the worse the next year's tick year.
A single barred owl pair raising chicks can take hundreds of rodents in a breeding season. Owls also don't carry Lyme. The bacterium can't survive their digestive tract, so an owl that eats an infected mouse is a dead end for the disease.
Researchers at the Cary Institute, the leading lab on Lyme ecology, have been explicit about this: "Landscapes that support predators have reduced Lyme disease risk."
One owl box on its own isn't going to fix a tick year. But a yard with owls, foxes, bobcats, and weasels in it has fewer mice, and a yard with fewer mice has fewer infected ticks.
If you have woods or fields nearby, a properly sized barn owl or screech owl box (different species, different ...
