Agreed, my ex wife had to have IV antibiotics every day for a month to knock hers back. It became Lyme meningitis.
Lyme disease is no joke. Thankfully it takes 24 hours of a latched tick to transmit. It lives in their gut so they have to do their thing for a while. Honestly Lyme is one if the least scary tick borne diseases. If you want to torture yourself look up powassan. Something like 30% chance of death -forget the 24 hour latching too. I hate using bug sprays but when I know I'm in high tick areas I use permethrin on my pants. Kills on contact. Works very well
