I always wanted to be a chick magnet when I was young. I succeeded at becoming a tick magnet. magnificently. Just a natural I guess. Protocol, can be complicated. I highly recommend the book, “ HEALING LYME”. By Dr. Stephen Buhner. I went to a full day seminar on tick-borne disease a few years ago and all the doctors there that I talked to admitted that that book changed how they treat tick-borne disease.
eta: my first case of lyme disease was 35 years ago, my first full time year as a surveyor. Been bit several times every year since. Started using herbs only about 9-10 years ago in a daily basis.
the only time I had symptoms from a bite was the very last one. I had chills and my upper front leg muscles ached. Never had that happen before. (I suspect it might have been Rocky Mountain fever). A friend recommended smearing a fingertip’s worth of oregano oil on the soles of my feet before going to bed. Worked like a charm. Learn something new everyday.
