I catch myself grinding my teeth like literally 30 times a day. I never use to do this before. What infection causes this?

Parasites according to Gael.

You may be low in magnesium, but the cause could be parasites, which deplete the body of vital nutrients.
Parasites/worms can be considered a co-infection of Lyme and should be treated in order to get well. Do a search on here by typing parasites into the search bar at the top for lots of info. Also check out the recent thread GiGi has posted on parasite symptoms.

I have also read that bruxism is a symptom of Ehrlichiosis.

I did that early in treatment. It was very frustrating.
But it eventually went away with protocols.

i don't think it's magnesium. I take 8 potent oral magnesium pills a day.

Knight,
I am concerned that it's possible given the amount of "potent" magnesium that you are taking, that you could be experiencing some side effects and or toxicity.
I have seen bruxism as a side effect in some meds of patients that I had as a nurse. I would consider cutting back on the dose of magnesium to see if this symptom calms down.

TENSION! Knight, your body probably feels like it is under attack all the time -- because it is.
Just for the record, we have family members without Lyme, in excellent health, who teeth-grind because of tension at work.
