How does the production of acorns by oak trees affect Lyme disease in humans?

Oak trees produce acorns, which are fed on my forest mice. The mice are infected with a microbe that causes lyme disease in humans, and when ticks feed on the mice and then subsequently feed on humans the microbe can be passed on. ChaCha!
