Astralagus

[Guest guest]

Buhner recommends astragalus for prevention, as it is effective in the earliest

stage of infection. I doubt it can prevent ticks from embedding though.

I have read several times about a vaccine under development that would cause the

tick to drop off pretty quickly after attachment, so the risk of passing some

infection is very low. The vaccine has nothing to do with borrelia or other

coinfections, it is based on the tick (saliva) only so should be safe. But I

don't think it is on the market yet.
