Is artimisia ( annua ) an irritant to the bladder or kidneys ? Could frequent bladder / kidney infections be related?

I don't think so. I had a bout of recurrent UTI's and I was not on artemesia.

For the last few months I have been on artemesia. No kidney, bladder symptoms whatsoever.

Good luck and be well!

I've only been on it for a month or so, but have not experienced any bladder or kidney problems.

Lyme itself does cause frequent UTi's in some people ,and interstitial cystitis (if I'm spelling that right?) I think.
