A friend of mine buys that. He soaks cotton balls in it and then stuffs the cotton balls in old paper towel tubes around his 5 acre yard in stone wall holes, under his shed, and any other dry places. Mice take the cotton balls and make nests with the cotton balls which then kill all the ticks that the mice carry. Mice are the true Lyme disease carrier. Deer get a bad wrap.

Monomoy Island is the best place to get lime that I know of.
Free range chickens are the best tick hunters I know.
Not one tick last year. Thanks chickens

Sorry, I think that's considered a full dose and that's what I got as well, but I have a friend who has chronic Lyme and she was very adamant about getting 4 weeks. I still don't feel right a year later. I had post Lyme syndrome. Scary stuff.

Hope you're feeling better, Basswipe

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.

Post Lyme is what most Lyme illiterate Dr's call ACTIVE lyme that has not been fully eradicated. It's a BS term since they refuse to accept that some Lyme patients do not respond the way they expect them to.

There is a #^&#^&#^&#^& ton of politics involved in the treatment of Lyme. Depending which side of the argument you are on...

On the extremes:
1. Some say it's Big Pharma money driving the BS guidlines. (plenty of evidence here)

2. Others say it's unscrupulous Dr's taking advantage of patients with expensive unproven treatments for a disease that is no longer active (likely equal amt of evidence here...)

I WILL tell you my wife has been sick for the better part of 15 years with tickborne related illness. She's has more good days then bad now, but for over a decade she was completely dabilitated.

Post Lyme? No F'ng way.

Lyme disease is such a serious and aggressive problem, yet they keeping pushing and pushing the B-S flu shot... the flu goes away on its own in a week...
something about the way they push the flu shot so damn hard makes me suspicious about it and thats why I wont go near it... Do I think it's a trojan horse
for something else they want us to get ? who knows... I dont put anything past them... But Lyme disease seems to be a much more serious issue than a week long flu, yet you hear nothing about it. makes you wonder wtf is going on

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

Happened to my son when he was on doxy for something else. Top layer of skin peeled off his sunburned hands.

I'm staying out of the sun until I'm off the Doxy.Can't wait as it also makes me very nauseous when I take my morning dose,I'm not a big breakfast person but I have to force myself to eat or I'm going to get sick.

Two things that are still bothering me are the constant tiredness and elevated heart rate.
