3. To remove a tick, you want to burn it off or smother it with nail polish.

Explanation

Burning off or smothering a tick with nail polish is not a recommended method to remove a tick. The correct way to remove a tick is to use fine-tipped tweezers to grasp the tick as close to the skin's surface as possible and pull upward with steady, even pressure. This helps to ensure that the tick's mouthparts are not left behind in the skin, reducing the risk of infection. Burning or smothering a tick can actually increase the risk of infection or cause the tick to release more saliva, increasing the chances of disease transmission.

4. Lyme disease is caused by bacteria that are maintained in the bodies of wild animals and transmitted through tick bites.

Explanation

Lyme disease is indeed caused by bacteria that are carried by wild animals and transmitted to humans through tick bites. The bacteria, called Borrelia burgdorferi, can infect a person when an infected tick bites them. The bacteria are commonly found in the bodies of small mammals like mice and deer, which serve as reservoirs for the disease. When an infected tick feeds on an animal, it picks up the bacteria and can then transmit it to humans during subsequent bites. Therefore, it is true that Lyme disease is caused by bacteria maintained in wild animals and transmitted through tick bites.
