I just got done soaking in the tub with baking soda and mineral salts. Boy did that feel wonderful.
Anyhow, when I got out I found two small bullseye looking rashes on my stomach. What's curious is that there is no itching or anything, they're just there.
I know these were not there when I got in the tub. Would the detox bath bring out these rashes? And if so, that many years after being infected?
I have pulled off ticks many years ago but never in that area. Just looking to see if this is somewhat normal?

prpudmom-- thats really interesting, sorry I do not know the answer. What were you using??
I take epsom salt baths every other day, I am trying to work up to 20 minutes, but man does it knock me for a loop. The hot water makes me so dizzy and lethargic.. I wonder if it's killing something??

Yes the hot water is killing something.
It works better with luke warm water...and build up the warmth slowly.
My first couple of epsom salt baths left me sick as a dog.
I can only surmise (hot water) that I was herxing from the die off of bb.
I really like hot water too.
I don't know about the bulls-eye rash.
However, other members have reported having the rash appear during treatment.
Often in other places.
Hugs,

I don't have epsom salts so I used some mineral salts that has euciliptis(sp)oil in it and about 2 cups of baking soda.
I can't tollerate hot water either so it was warm. This was the first time I did this bath. I've never seen a bullseye on myself before so this was pretty freaky.
They faded away about 2 hours later. I have had other rashes, kinda like hives and bad itching from just taking a hot shower sometimes.
I didn't experience any herxing so maybe I needed to use the epsom salts instead. I wish I had taken pics, the bullseyes were just like what I've seen on the internet.
Really I was just curious to see if anyone else has had this happen.

Hi Mom
The bullseye rashes usually dont itch or hurt- that is why many people dont see them --
I have heard that bullseyes can reappear- but it is unusual--
If they do show up again take pictures and post here if possible
euciliptis oil is Very Good for detoxing threw the skin - so keep using it--
There is a product called Bath Therapy that has euciliptis in it and I am always amazed what comes out of my shin when I use it - --Jay--

geeeez, I take it back about not herxing. Neuro crud is really bad right now.
I think I'll keep it up but maybe only once a week.
I've had 3 children and I'm not really sure I want to post a pic. in public of my belly. Maybe I'll get brave. We shall see.
Thank you all for your input,

Hi Groovy, Where can I find the Bath Therapy? I tried a search and boy did I come up with alot of stuff. Also can it be mixed with the baking soda?
