Yes but you avoid a high risk area's vegetation, and do a tick check afterwards, if you're informed. If you get the tick off in the first 24 hours you are very unlikely to get infected.

It's only if you are not given any knowledge about the particular risk of a suburban home that is on a suburban street and not in a wooded area itself, that you cannot protect yourself.

All that is required is, when it's brought up, is to give the information.

Another point: it is also important to inform the visitor, if they are concerned, that deer regularly eat your flowers. Apparently in certain parts of suburbs deer roam freely on the lawns. This is not always the case. A visitor who doesn't live there could have no idea. And deer shed ticks in the gardens where they eat flowers.
