First time I heard about it.

    Additionally the bacteria that causes Lyme diseases may actually benefit from this relationship. The environment and nature doesn’t make choices just at the benefit of humans, it’s full scale every organism for themselves.

        Kind of hard to ~move around~ when you’re that small, so it could be transport related. Plenty of bacteria and smaller organisms hitch a ride on intermediary hosts just for transport reasons, but they could also benefit in other ways tbh, life is weird and creative like that.
