We don't want 99 people taking antibiotics for every one who gets cured (about the rate most tick bites have of giving Lyme disease), so maybe a bit of gatekeep

We don't want 99 people taking antibiotics for every one who gets cured (about the rate most tick bites have of giving Lyme disease), so maybe a bit of gatekeeping is appropriate here. At least to ask "Has it been on you for 36 hours?"
Antibiotics have a major effect on your gut flora and I don't take them lightly.
- JoeAltmaier 7y agoThat sounds bad, but what's the 'false negative' penalty? (Not getting antibiotics when you needed to). Pretty high - getting Lyme disease. If it was your kid, I'm thinking we'd all do it.
