I opened X and saw some conversations about deer ticks and #Lyme, so I’ll share some more details about my recent experience.
Details:
- Tick removed likely within 24 hours
- Tick was not engorged
- Tick’s “beak” was left lodged in my leg after breaking off, but I let it stay
- Some soreness, aches, and small circular rash
Treatment:
- Removed tick with tweezers immediately after noticing it
- Applied lemon juice to area
- Ate immune-boosting foods and supplements like honey and vitamin C
- Day after removal, got doxycycline from doctor
- Took 100 mg doxycycline every 12 hours (200 mg/day) for 72 hours
The “rash” slowly shrunk over the course of about a month.
Side note: I also did a lot of research on Lyme and was very unconvinced by the scientific studies that serve as its foundation. I’ll try to share my conversations with the Kimi K2.5 LLM when I get the chance.
