Anler Posted June 23, 2022 Share Posted June 23, 2022 I put these tick tubes in my yard but they say chickens is the best anti tick treatment. They will eat the fuck out of those things. https://www.amazon.com/Thermacell-Control-Disease-Backyard-Environment/dp/B01MSE9XLW/ref=asc_df_B01MSE9XLW?tag=bingshoppinga-20&linkCode=df0&hvadid=80058242182206&hvnetw=o&hvqmt=e&hvbmt=be&hvdev=c&hvlocint=&hvlocphy=&hvtargid=pla-4583657821353730&psc=1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Your doctor will most likely prescribe antibiotics. https://www.webmd.com/arthritis/understanding-lyme-disease-treatment That's what my intern told me. Find a specialist in autoimmune disease. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I guess you've been on antibiotics and the works. Mayo was sent some samples and info back in 2011, they stated it's an inconclusive illness but appears I had it for +/- 16 years by then.

Been on it off and on 5 times in the last 10 years. lyme causes inflamation in the joints, and sugar consumption feeds inflamation. Damn it's hard to wean off sugar.

The person on my route also suffered for a long time before they kind of figured out it was Lyme. Damage was already done....she had to retire early and maybe has improved a little but not very much. Hope it at least stabilizes for you and doesn't get any worse...it's a real bad dibilitating disease and most don't realize or know for sure when they get it.

She is starting to get symptoms of rheumatoid arthritis now which they say is one of the effects. Ticks are a fucking scourge. Why do they even exist ?
