Not sure how this will work with all the different varieties of the Lyme bacteria but interesting nonetheless.

Targets OspA!!!!
Read my posts under Gut issues!!! This all circles back to not enough *gut * IgA2 response to one of Bb’s proteins.
Same problem with long Covid and C. Pneumoniae. IgA2 too low.
HLA-B27+ implications = prone to autoimmune
“OspA arthritis is a form of treatment resistant Lyme arthritis and is linked to an immune response against the OspA protein of the Borrelia burgdorferi bacteria”
See how HBOT impacts that!!!

I read an IgA deficiency is relatively common. This leads to antibiotic refractory arthritis. Not enough antibody to react to Bb’s OspA.
Blood transfusions could be problematic.
IMO, get tested for IgA and anti IgA antibodies. Important
Also get tested for HLA-B27. If positive= greater CHANCE for “autoimmune”
