Some lucky people do not get infested even while living with infected ones. What is the common denominator of these fortunate people? Thanks for all replies.

My husband hasn’t gotten sick in many years of living with me. His immune system has reacted to borrelli.

He’s never had the flu in his life, the same for his mother. They never got flu shots. I think it’s a case of carefully choosing your parents if you want a strong immune system.(joke)

@daisys what is your husband doing that's different from you?

He’s not being treated for Lyme disease. That has been the total difference for many years.

His family is very healthy. His grandmother and great aunt were working full time well into their 90’s—doing crafts, 40 hours a week, in their shop.

That’s why I said to carefully choose your parents if you want a long healthy life.

I've been married for 48 years and as far as we know, my husband does not have Lyme.

I've had it since I was about 8 years old.

Why the immunity?
