The shifting ecosystems point is really important, I live far enough north that I had never seen a tick in nature before last year and then I got bitten by two in one season
I had the same expirience, PCP said it wasn't lyme, they sent me to a neurologist who said it wasn't, then I footed the bill for an infectious disease specialist who was like "WTF you should have started antibiotics two weeks ago"
