Found a tick on yourself?
• Yes	5.4	4.8	χ² = 23.21, p < .001	0.11^†
• No	90.3	94.3
• Uncertain	4.3	10.9
Ever been bitten by a tick?
• Yes	6.3	3.5	χ² = 8.33, p < .05	0.07
• No	85.1	88.4
• Uncertain	8.6	8.1
Diagnosed with Lyme disease by a doctor?
• Yes	3.3	0.2	χ² = 31.73, p < 0.001	0.13^†
• No	95.9	99.6
• Uncertain	0.8	0.2

^a The Fisher Exact Test (FET) was used instead of the chi-square test when at least one cell was lower than 5. Unlike the chi-square test, the FET has no formal statistic like chi-square. Thus, we reported the p value
^b Effect size interpretation: ^† Small effect, ^†† Moderate effect, ^†††Large effect
