i read somewhere that some people are taking pepto bismol to treat lyme.

That sounds crazy! I don't necessarily think that stuff is very good for you either.Some people into natural medicine believe it coats the inside of your colon, but, then doesn't really go away. I'm not saying I believe that.

But, never heard of it for lyme.....

I've heard it's the bismuth that kills the bugs. However, too much can kill the kidneys.

Doc says not to treat with that.

You may want to ask yours.
