Interesting lyme disease fact: California, birthplace of the S240, has a statistically significant lower incidence of lyme disease, thanks to a lizard--the Western Fence Lizard--which is common in the area, and whose blood contains a protein that kills the lyme disease bacterium. So when our local ticks feed on these lizards--which I guess is a fairly common occurrence--any lyme disease they are carrying is killed.
