Some where in Arkansas.

Victims of circumstance owe it to fate. Victims of choice owe it to themselves.

Your question is simply not clear.

Lyme disease will be treated quite similarly worldwide. If you are inquiring about non-traditional approaches, I believe that it would be best to so state. I would not have responded to this question if that was the answer that you were seeking because I do not know.

Most Lyme disease is curable with antibiotics. This is so true that some authors of Lyme disease research have stated that the most common cause of lack of response of Lyme disease to antibiotics is a lack of Lyme disease to begin with! The type of antibiotic depends on the stage of the disease (early or late) and what areas of the body are affected. Early illness is usually treated with oral medicines, for example, doxycycline (Vibramycin), amoxicillin , or cefuroxime axetil . Therefore, if a person finds a typical "bull's-eye" skin rash (described above) developing in an area of a tick bite, they should seek medical attention as soon as possible. Generally, antibiotic treatment resolves the rash within one or two weeks. Later illness such as nervous-system disease might require intravenous drugs, for example, ceftriaxone (Rocephin).
