what about spiders . I got bitten by a spider that ran up my leg and bit me

then ran off. Unusal for a spider. I caused a terrible bump and for days my

leg was numb and tingly to my toes.

Good point; do other bugs spread lyme? beetles, fleas?

Hmmmm I would tend to think not since they dont require a blood meal

like ticks and fleas, but who knows?

Thanks to those who answered.

It makes sense to me that if it is prescribed for nausea and pain caused by

cancer, glaucoma, etc. that it might work here. I'll have to do some more

research and talk to our Llmd. I'm fed up with watching my daughter suffer

and am willing to try something unconventional if it works!

Spiders do not have blood meals -- ever. Spiders inject their venom with a

bite to paralyze the insect and eat it. Mosquitoes, chiggers, nats, and

ticks have blood meals, which they need in order to produce their eggs.

Spiders do not. Moreover, no spiders have ever been shown to carry lyme

disease.

Spiders DO have a blood meal. Ever squish a fly on your wall and see

blood?

They eat flies. Many many insects have red blood. And that is what

spiders eat.
