IIRC someone came up with one about 10 years ago, it was FDA approved and they started to market it, but then it just disappeared. I wonder what happened?

It didn't repel ticks but it cured any tick that bit you that was carrying the Lyme virus.

Pheizer somd a lot of antibiotics.

Also, a patient cured is a patient lost.

Its insane to think of what could be cured if it were not for the almighty buck.

Got myself some permethrin today and soaked a set of work cloths and set of grass cutting/fishing cloths.Between that and picaradin for the skin I'll be damned if I ever get another tick or mosquito on me.I won't go through this again hopefully.

Perpetual war would be a nice thing to cure.

Unfortunately there will never be a cure for the human condition other than extinction.We are our own best enemy.

Disease we all can work on and at least make life better in the here and now.

A good friend has been diagnosed with lyme. He has known something was wrong for a while before docs said he has lyme. He is on meds now but has said he gets a feeling like he has a sunburn on his face and neck also tinitus in ears. Anyone else have these symptoms?

I can't say much about the tinitus part as I had before I got lyme.

Has your friend been out in the sun?Doxycycline can make you very sensitive to the sun according to my doc.

Yes and yes.

I had them when on the Doxy as any form of prolonged light exposure can really do a number on you. I kept boat fishing while on a full course. Stupid.

I still get those symptoms as, like I stated in my post above, I had/have post Lyme syndrome.
