This amuses me endlessly because there's zero evidence that Lyme disease exists, and I've personally been bitten by hundreds of ticks over 30 years with no issues. It's just like covid hysteria, retards freaking out over nothing because of something they heard on the internet. I have engaged in outdoor activities in New England every day since 1990 and I don't give one single fuck about ticks and barely even bother checking for them.

>>2825547 (OP)
I wonder who could be behind this post.

>>2825548
Being bitten by ticks is literally a daily reality of having outdoor hobbies in northern New England. You can wear long pants tucked into your socks and as much bugspray as you want, you check your entire body in the shower twice a day, you will STILL get bites. I have been bitten dozens of times every single year of my life and I have zero health problems other than myopia and herpes. Ticks are a complete nothing burger.

try leaving them on for 2 or 3 weeks to test your theory
i believe in you

>>2825553
Why the fuck would I do that?

>>2825556
because you don't give 1 single fuck about ticks and lyme disease isn't real

>>2825547 (OP)
i can almost guarantee that i have at least one tick that i haven't found on me yet.

>>2825557
But you're talking about literally not bathing or feeling your own body for weeks. You have your own unique problems if that's realistic for you.

>>2825559
you can bathe. just leave the ticks on, for science. lyme disease and COVID don't exist, so what's the problem?

>>2825560
Who the fuck is somehow not seeing a tick on their body for weeks on end? Some 800 pound person who never moves?

>>2825547 (OP)
>there's zero evidence that Lyme disease exists,
It exists. I have Lyme disease for over 3 years now. It's the side effects that are highly overrated. I still hike and workout just fine without any issues since getting Lyme.

>tick has to bite you rather than just walking around your body
>tick has to be on you for AT LEAST 24 hours
>you have to take it off improperly
>and EVEN THEN it only has about a 1% chance of giving you Lyme

Yeah the fear is wildly overblown

>>2825562
i don't care if you see it or not. you said lyme disease doesn't exist, so start leaving those ticks on for a while and let's see.
you're really backtracking a lot, pussy

>>2825556

It's like if I said that owning a gun was safe, and you're like "go play Russian roulette on purpose then". Dumb argument.

>>2825610
no it's more like if you said "there's zero evidence that gunshots hurt people"

i'm just curious as how did you come to the conclusion that lyme disease, or any other disease for that matter, is real or not ?

>>2825628
nta but by observing reality and analyzing it. you know, not being a midwit who just accepts everything media and authority tells him.

>>2825547 (OP)
I wouldn't worry about it.

>>2825547 (OP)
OP is yet more proof that all New Englanders are total pussies and are generally completely clueless. Yet 90% of our elected officials are from there. No wonder things've gone to such shit in this country.

>>2825632
well i think we all agree that you're not a midwit

Removed this son of a bitch from my belly.

>>2825678
How the fuck did you even notice it? That thing is so fucking tiny

>>2825726
I didn't notice it when I checked my body once I got home, but the next day I felt a small itch, scratched my belly without giving it too much thoughts and realized it was this guy. Not sure if I missed it when I checked or if it was wandering somewhere and bit me after I checked... It was a one night trip so he couldn't have been there for too long.
Still, I can't believe I missed it, I'm pretty paranoid about these little fuckers. I'll check even more deeply and more frequently next time.

I went to see my doctor so she could give me a prescription for the antibiotics just in case I were to get symptoms in a few days, turns out she told me to start the treatment right now, just in case, because the area where I was has a higher than normal rate of Lyme and she wants to play it safe. She even gave me a blood test prescription to do in 3 weeks so they can check if everything is alright and there isn't any traces of Lyme lol, she's confident it will be fine though. I'm a French so all that shit is "free", at least there's that.

>>2825745
shit's nuts how tiny that thing is still to even try to find it on you.

>>2825726
Practice for finding his dick.

>>2825678
this instar looks too small to attach but i dont know shit since i live in the INW and have never been tick'd

>>2825803
It was attached, still got a small red rash where the bite was.

>>2825745
Are you gonna take a 2 week course of antibiotics every time you find a tick on you? That's insane and terrible for your gut microbiome.

>>2825548
I think bro is talking about the long-covid hysteria and weird victim culture around Lyme disease rather than the existence of the bacteria. People mostly don't like ticks because they see a cluster of quarter sized tumors dangling off the face of a local yard-deer and when the realization that they're parasitic insects strikes them, "ticks are fucking disgusting" is permanently seared into their brains.
I had a boss who almost died from Rocky Mountain Fever. Ticks are fucking gross. They're not a reason to besmirch the glory of nature, but you should definitely do a tick-check after bush whacking.

>>2825838
Nah next time I'll wait for symptoms.

>>2825547 (OP)

My mom was infected twice. Nothing antibioics can't fix though if you catch it fast.

>>2825632
Okay, so why won't you then prove your hypothesis by leaving on those ticks for a few weeks. You can observe and analyze reality, because that's what you're doing, aren't you?

>>2825547 (OP)

Fuck nature

>>2826143
Because I'd be extremely uncomfortable knowing that a bug is burrowed into my skin and drinking my blood? Fucking retards. Besides the latest muh science says you can get lyme almost immediately after the tick starts feeding and ive had tons of those little faggots sucking my blood over the years.

Ok guys the real piece of knowledge is that the tick bite is not the cause if the "lyme symptoms"
The cause is toxicity in the body and the tick bite makes everything go haywire
It would help if you first understood terrain theory and other theories that point towards "being sick" as the body healing/detoxing.
You firstly would have to agree that the medical industry is corrupt, and then maybe your open minded enough to re learn how the body works and heals and re-regulates it self

>>2825565
The 24hr rule is only a low chance. You can get infected with any bite and it goes up if you remove the tick improperly.

>>2825838
If you have a rash oh any kind its a 5 dollar antibiotic and if you get it early it was a 7 day prescription. Only a portion of bites get the bullseye rash too. Lyme fucking sucks when you get symptomatic, which could be weeks afterwards. Couldn't walk for 30hrs, felt like a back injury.

I know someone with lyme. It made him an indoor man.

>>2829614
Why? It's easily treatable.

>>2829676
Untreated lyme gave him spinal arthritis

>>2829737
He also got fat because of steroids he uses to treat arthritis

HEYOO-

>>2825552
Lyme is 100 percent real man! I'm glad you have gotten it and I get your point that neurotic people obsess over not get ticks on them. Just cause you get bit doesn't mean you will contract Lyme disease and even if you contract it it can lay dormant for years and once you start show symptoms it's to late. The fear of Lyme disease is not the rate of transmission but the sometimes debilitating effects it can have on some one.
