I work outside and constantly get ticks. I hate them! Over the past 4 decades just because of my lifestyle and extreme exposure, despite dressing properly etc, I have had RMSF, rickettsiae, southern Lyme ( Stari) , tick paralysis, and on and on. Doctors can rarely offer effective treatments or even accurate testing. In Sept 2020 I got over 45 seed tick bites at once and several weeks later got tingling weak legs and pain and weakness upon standing. Very strange. I actually wondered if I had MS. But given all the tick problems I've had, figured it was tickborn. I had lost all confidence in medicine by then, with zero desire to go from clueless doctor to clueless doctor. and knew from 40 years of experience, doctors could rarely diagnose or treat odd things or tick problems. I could still function, it was simply uncomfortable, so I just persevered, hoping the symptoms would eventually go away..in June of 2021, I finally discovered the FLCCC and Zelenko protocols for covid prevention and early treatment. I had had both hydroxychloroquine and ivermectin stockpiled since May of 2020, but did not know the proper dosages, so had never taken...But now June 2021, I did begin, thanks to these brave doctors and their clear protocols.

I began preventive ivermectin in June 2021. Once a week. After 2 weeks I realized with shock and delight the painful tingling weak legs were completely normal after 9 months!

I reasoned that tick borne diseases are basically parasites also. The tick injects something with its bite. Now every time I get into ticks, I take a preventive dose of ivermectin immediately and if I got a big number or a worrisome reaction, I take another dose 3 days later. So far so good. No more tick diseases since June 2021. My personal opinion is it really helps keep tick borne diseases at bay. Works for me. Might help won't hurt!

Three years ago I landed in the hospital for a week with Lyme Meningitis. After undergoing a 28-day cycle of intervenous ceftriaxone (Rocephin), and being warned that I was likely to suffer recurring Lyme for the rest of my life, a friend who had had the same problem clued me in to the advice she'd gotten after getting disgusted with her ongoing symptoms and went to a naturalpath. I took a full dose of ivermetcin "horse wormer paste" for 5 days (similar to covid treatment / dose). And then I took low-dose ivermectin (1/4 dosage --- a single "click" of the tube) for the next 30 days along with daily high-dose vitamin C (1000 mg/day). Its been three years, and no recurring symptoms. The way the naturalpath explained it to her, about 10% of all Lyme infection is "bots" which the antibiotics can't kill. The ivermectin and vitamin-C erode the coating which hides the "bug eggs" (bots) from your immune system so you can gradually clear them.

EDIT: once a month, I take a single "4 click" dose of ivermectin to maintain this, similar to giving your dog "heartworm medication" once per month.
