You do realize you can just ask your doctor for an acne antibiotics prescription and be immune to Lyme disease, right? Doctors routinely do this for people who work in dangerous areas for Lyme disease, etc..
I didn't realize this. Somehow, this doesn't seem like a good idea to basically be on Doxycycline forever...
Most antibiotics are not effective agains Lyme, since it is a spirochete, and can end up in your spinal fluid.
Last time I had Lyme, I took Doxycycline for 6 weeks. that drug is pretty damn awful to take all the time.
Can you show any data that doctors are prophylactically prescribing antibiotics to people for Lyme? If that is the case, I'd assume that "living in connecticut" is a sufficient risk factor?
