>>2875313What makes me nervous is that I've been bitten by many a New English tick and often don't find them for a day or so and never got a bullseye rash but have been staggering around with Lyme-like symptoms for years :\
>>2875313Not so fast, nigga.
>>2875318Have you heard of doctors before?
>>2875322lyme tests always come back negative. I know two people who lived with it for years (my sister had through an entire pregnancy) and every test was negative. also I live in a non-Lyme country now and they don't even test people for it
Guys it's not that hard, go out in shorts and be white and every 5 minutes give your legs a quick look over. I can usually feel it when they're biting anywa.
>>2875325but if you're doing a multi-nighter you're wearing layers and sleeping innawoods and dealing with all kinds of terrain and that's when you get ticks up your dickhole

>>2875318>>2875313Lyme seroprevalence in EU forestry workers: 15-22% (Belgium, France)Of those seropositive, asymptomatic rates ran ~45-90% depending on study/definitionBig systematic review (61 studies, 22 EU countries): ~50% asymptomatic overall — flagged as a real data gap, most seroprevalence studies don't track this wellUS Lyme vaccine trial: 7-11% seroconverted asymptomatically (not EU, often cited alongside)Belgium's self-reported symptom numbers are noisy — most people who claimed Lyme history weren't even seropositive>TLDR: roughly half of Lyme infections in Europe never show symptoms, going by the best available data.
>>2875344I had lyme disease and it showed up randomly on an unrelated blood test. They told me and gave antobiotics. That was it, no follow up to confirm it's gone. Idk the symptoms really so I can't tell if I ever had them but I believe it affects joints and I have gout so idk how to tell stuff apart then.
>>2875357>showed up randomly
>>2875360wym? I went for unrelated reasons and they told me 'you got borrelia'.
>>2875360I was just simulating what they may have seen under the microscope :]
