At-home test for infected ticks could improve Lyme...
The tick you're talking about here (hard to crush) is a wood tick, the types that carry lyme are deer ticks.
They're much, much smaller. The size of a poppy seed.

Deer ticks are hard to crush too. And I'd say typically closer to the size of a sesame than a poppy seed. I like to pinch them between the tips of two fingernails, but lighting them on fire is also an enjoyable way to end them.
