I've done a lot of research on tick-borne, as well as interviewing others, and my own personal experience. My protocol for being in tick areas is now as follows: * No sugar, including "stray" sugar from processed food, like "cane syrup", "apple juice", etc. * No processed food that digests fast and floods my body with nutrients, e.g. bread, cereal, etc. * Light diet, intermittent fasting. * No coffee. * Lots of fresh garlic. * Frequent tick checks. * If I get bitten, no sweets of any kind, including fruit, for a few days. * If bitten by the smaller species, and it's on long enough to leave a red mark, 2 days of antibiotics right away.

> 2 days of antibiotics right away. I wonder if this is actually wise, given antibiotic overuse/resistance. Although, I suppose the downside would be for society, not you.

  Every animal in factory farms is given antibiotics. 2-day antibiotics doses are commonly prescribed, and in fact as Lyme prophylacsis too.

It’s interesting to me that the dietary part is almost exactly a description of the diet that greatly reduces psoriasis symptoms for me.

I'm leery about rather diet makes much of a difference. Ticks are attracted to heat and CO2 and will jump on anything moving by. I've never met anyone here who repels ticks. Take a look at this video. https://youtu.be/TFVDv8swzxQ https://youtu.be/TFVDv8swzxQ I'm dragging a bath towel around my front yard and there are hundreds of small ticks attached to it.

  It's not for the ticks, it's for the bacteria. The diet is for after a found tick bite. The idea is to not feed the bacteria with abundance of free nutrients in the system. Thanks for the video, very informative.
