Per Yanis Bernard:

It's a spirochete. right? Antibiotics should be able to wipe it out. I'd
have to look it up to be sure, but, it's usual that antibiotics wipe out
bacterial diseases pretty completely. Most viral diseases are wiped out
also, although some (like Herpes) linger on forever in the nerves.


My understanding is that some people develop "Chronic Lyme Disease", AKA
"Post-Treatment Lyme Disease".

Seems like there is disagreement on whether the organisms find hiding
places in the body and persist after antibiotic treatment or they leave
the immune system damaged in such a way that it continues to respond
even though all the organisms have been destroyed.
