I'm stunned that you think people in this thread are promoting needless antibiotic use or "endorsing chronic lyme's existence." Please - do link the paper disproving the existence of chronic Lyme. Say you were diagnosed

This is correct. The one saving grace of borreliosis is that azithromycin/doxycycline/etc are largely all out-of-patent, so the generics are cheap regardless of where you are.

Lyme doesn't have outward symptoms like the flu: https://www.webmd.com/arthritis/do-i-have-lyme-disease Lyme borreliosis is persistent and hard to kill once it establishes itself in the form of biofilms/plaqu

He's talking about oral antibiotics; these tick-borne infections propagate through your bloodstream, so topical antibiotics aren't going to do anything. Triclosan has effectively zero efficacy anyway (since we pump so much of it d

For one thing, more funding would help. >In 2017, mosquito-borne West Nile virus, which currently infects about 2,000 people annually in the U.S. received $42 million in support from the U.S. National Institutes of Health. Lyme disease,

Deer are not the primary vector for ticks; they are outnumbered by a factor of 10-100 by white-footed mice and other small mammals. Those animals make the tick's lifecycle, well, tick. This is obviously a simplification; for more detai

Azithromycin and doxycycline are completely different chemicals; the former is a macrolide, the latter is a tetracycline. Both are used for Lyme (and various other infections).

HN is really not the place to offer medical advice. Anyone reading this with a therapeutic need should see a doctor, preferably more than one.

As someone who also suffered through very long-term antibiotic therapy: Not to invalidate your story, but if your tests for Lyme were negative, it wasn't Lyme (borreliosis). B. burgdorferi is the only thing the medical community will a

Ethernet usually requires isolation magnetics and transformers, while WiFi is basically just a wire sticking out of an RFIC.

It seems like you're suggesting the added complexity of complex numbers makes visual understanding unhelpful; do you care to explain why visualizing complex numbers or multidimensional spaces is so impossible?

Re-using code doesn't wear it out or contaminate it. This is one of the worst analogies I've heard here.

Common misconception. It is mainly not resistive heating that destroys the coil; before resistive heating of a significant degree can occur, the coil physically implodes from the force, and this is gainfully used to further concentrate th
