If I understand correctly, if there are no deer, there is no Lyme disease. I have the impression that there are about 5,000 deer on the Island, if the calculation is 100 square miles at 50 animals per square mile. This is probably not permitted speech in the People’s Republic of Martha’s Vineyard but, from what I know of the hunting figures here . . . that, except for the last several hundred, is really a doable number. Very feasible.
