A tick encounter and tick-borne disease prevention decision support system is disclosed for permitting a user to obtain a risk calculation of encountering disease- causing ticks. The tick encounter and tick-borne disease prevention decision support system includes a location component, a landscape component, an animals component, a human activity component, a database, and a score component. The location component is for receiving data from a user regarding a user's geographic location. The landscape component is for receiving data from the user regarding a type of landscape that exists where the user lives. The animals component is for receiving data from the user regarding any of wildlife or pets that exist where the user lives. The human activity component is for receiving data from the user regarding the user's activities in their yard. Statistical inference data is stored on the database, and the database is coupled to each of the location component, landscape component, animals component and the human activity component. The score computation module is for generating a tick risk calculation number based on output data from each of the location component, the landscape component, the animals component and the human activity component.
