Honestly Lyme disease is blown way out of proportion. It’s not all that hard to check for ticks to avoid it, and the course of the disease with treatment really just isn’t particularly serious for most who get it. There’s even growing skepticism around the presence of some of the reported sequelae.
The big things if you are in a Lyme disease area are to check for ticks and just go to the doctor if you either have the rash or symptoms.
Regularly taking antibiotics is awful for your gut health, somewhat risky from an antibiotic resistance perspective, definitely risky from a C Diff perspective, and probably wouldn’t even help very much since you do need to take them somewhat promptly after infection.
