Hey guys just thought I could lend a little insight. I've been trying to get rid of lyme for about a year now countless treatments and specialists. Most of what's known about lyme treatment is theory because lyme bacteria is very difficult to isolate in a lab along with many other factors to many to list, but with that being said it is thought that giving a one time dose of doxycycline within 72 ours of infected tick bite will prevent disseminated lyme. However the appearance of a classic bullseye rash is the only indicator of infection, and 30% of all lyme cases reported no bullseye. So word of advice just be carefully guys try to avoid deer ticks and if you can't make sure you check yourself and if you do,find a deer tick on you save it and have sent out for testing.
