I care about the Lyme more than the rats tbh. That is way more likely to fuck you up long term than anything a rat will bring in this day and age. We aren’t getting the black plague anymore.

Around 7 people the US get the plague each year. Yes that’s low, but it’s low specially because measures actively keeping it low.

Which means understanding and maintaining these systems is still valuable as even if millions aren’t actively dying, that can change,
