Lyme Disease - Tick Spray Anyone?

Tweet

Did you know that once you have Lyme disease it stays in your body? Something that I didn't know until I was diagnosed with it. The test results said that I had tested positive and there were signs of previous Lyme. Um What??!! My doctor couldn't explain it to me. I had to look it up on the web. Yes, I am looking for another primary care physician. So, I after having it once again, possibly making it a third time, I am frantic. How the heck do I keep attracting these little buggers? I only walk across my lawn to get to my car and sometimes I go to the back yard to work in my garden. I met a woman whom I had become acquainted with many years ago, met her again under different circumstances, and now we keep running into each other. Most recently it was for jury duty selection. We got to talking about this that and the other thing, and she told me she too had Lyme. She despises the commercial sprays that are on the market to keep ticks at bay. She concocted her own "tick spray" and said it works quite well. She puts 60 drops of each of the following oils into a 15 ounce spray bottle: Geranium, Cedarwood, Sage, Lemongrass, Eucalyptus, Rosemary, and Lavender. She then fills the rest of the 18 ounce bottle with rubbing alcohol. She said you shake it up before each use and spray it on your body. Depending on what I have on for clothing I would spray my socks and pant legs too. She said that it has worked for her thus far. I am going to give it a try. I do not like the chemicals in the products that are on the market. With Lyme disease on the rise, it is wise to treat your skin and clothing with either a commercial tick spray or if you so choose, a holistic one. I know I am sick of being sick because of Lyme disease. I do not want to get another bout of it. Spray up my friends!
