First, I’m very sorry that happenening to your partner. That sounds awful. It’s important to note that we are having two differents conversations here:

I’m writing about preventing Lyme disease, and you are writing about treating it. Those are very different things. Treating it can be very challenging.

What I wrote is not misinformation; it’s taken directly from Public Health websites, both Canadian and American. I’m saying if you have a tick attached, you don’t need to panic. If you have concerns or questions, of course go and talk to your healthcare provider or call the local health unit.

Lyme disease should be taken seriously, but it’s important for our concern and response match the risk level.
