What kind of antibiotics needed. 

My husband got two ticks attached to him a few weeks ago and it was scary since this was the first time for him while he was homesteading since 2020. I had to use my tweezers to carefully remove them and it was good we caught them right away. We live on unmaintained land with tons of ticks and have to mow the grass regularly, using permethrin on clothing, and sprinkling diatomaceous earth. Also putting socks over pant legs is helpful while wearing tall rubber boots. We put the ticks in the freezer in case but he hasn't had any symptoms. He did put Polysporin and rubbing alcohol on the areas as a preventative. 

We wanted to have doxycycline on hand (apparently it's used for skin issues) and i looked into ordering it online. I live in Canada by the way and Lyme disease is no joke as well as the other diseases ticks can carry. We have some chickens but they're useless and will stare at a tick while i spray it down or remove it (we have a lot of bugs so that explains it). My husband got guinea fowls a few years ago but they ran away and are generally very noisy. Also, chrysanthemums and certain herbs could help repel them.

People can be allergic to doxycycline, and if you want to just keep some on hand, I think it turns toxic after a while. After using the antibiotic, or if none is available, it might help to eat 2 fresh cloves of garlic 3 times per day for 1-2 weeks (high doses beyond 2 weeks can start to damage or weaken the liver), and use lots of allspice (in tea, on oatmeal or cereal, however you can take it) because they supposedly are effective against lymes. Myrrh is too, but I don't know how to safely take enough to be effective since it is toxic to eat in any more than the smallest amounts.

Yes!  Good points!

I have a good friend who had Lyme's for 12 years before being diagnosed.  She had a terrible allergic reaction when given the antibiotic and ended up in the Emergency Room.

My mother keeps a large container of doxycycline in the freezer to keep it fresh longer.

I am very sensitive to antibiotics so I try to get through illnesses with natural remedies and naturally sourced antibiotic plants and foods.  I don't think that I have taken antibiotics since a bad episode of an infected ingrown toenail when I was 17.

I went to urgent care.  I was really nervous.   They had masks.    They gave a one time  200 g of antibiotics.  

A couple of weeks ago , I had a couple of deer ticks on me but I ate garlic.  Then I heard that some people don’t get bulls eye and still get the disease. I’ll probably go to my main doctor because I don’t want long term disease.  

I did buy unsweetened yogurt that’s made in Pa. 

This is just anecdotal, but I have had Lyme and co-infections since the 90's. I was treated with IV antibiotics and still had neurological lyme symptoms. I managed  long Lyme with diet and supplements but still had many bad days.
Once COVID hit and I took Ivermectin for flu-like symptoms, my Lyme symptoms went away. Take it for what it's worth. Maybe the Lyme spirochete is a parasite
