Visual detection is not reliable for nymph stage ticks. At 1 to 2mm, they are essentially invisible on skin, especially near hair and skin folds.

What works is your fingertips. An attached tick is slightly raised from the skin surface, and your fingertips have enough touch receptor density to detect that bump even when your eyes cannot see it.

Ticks prefer exactly the places most tick checks miss. The scalp and hairline are among the highest frequency attachment sites, and a nymph under 2mm sitting at the base of a hair follicle is invisible to the naked eye.

Check the scalp section by section with your fingertips, behind the ears, and along the hairline at the neck.x cvx

If low stomach acid or gut dysbiosis is driving poor iron absorption, supplementing iron without fixing absorption first produces limited results. Addressing the root cause with betaine HCl, digestive enzymes, or treating SIBO is a necessary part of the plan.

For severely depleted patients, IV iron infusion bypasses the gut entirely, delivers a full repletion dose in 1 to 3 sessions, and often produces dramatic, measurable improvement in both iron stores and symptoms.

Standard Lyme treatment targets Borrelia but does not treat Babesia or adequately pe*****te cells to treat Bartonella.

When a co-infection goes unidentified, the patient completes their antibiotic course and their Borrelia burden decreases.

Still, Babesia continues destroying red blood cells, driving fatigue, night sweats, and air hunger nobody can explain.

The physician sees a completed course and a negative Lyme test. The conclusion becomes treatment failure, or worse, psychosomatic.

By the time anemia shows up on a CBC, iron stores have been depleted for months, sometimes years.

Ferritin is the marker that reflects actual iron storage, and you can have a perfectly normal hemoglobin with critically low ferritin and still be experiencing significant neurological and psychiatric symptoms.

84% of children with ADHD had ferritin levels below 30 ng/mL — compared to only 18% of typically developing kids.

And in a double-blind trial, iron supplementation produced ADHD symptom improvements comparable to stimulant medication.

This isn't fringe. It just hasn't made it into mainstream practice yet.

During pregnancy, blood volume increases 40–50%, and iron demand doubles — with the baby taking from maternal stores first.

Then delivery brings 300–1000ml of blood loss depending on delivery type, and postpartum hemorrhage affects roughly 1 in 10 births.

The iron deficit adds up fast.

Honestly... I don't think physicians should have one.

That may sound controversial, but hear me out.
The moment a doctor decides there's one belief they'll never question is the moment curiosity starts to disappear.

Medicine is constantly evolving. New discoveries are made. Evidence changes. Every patient is unique. If we're unwilling to question our assumptions, we risk limiting what's possible for the people we care for.

As physicians, our job isn't to defend an ideology. It's to stay curious, remain humble, evaluate the evidence, and do what's best for the person sitting in front of us.

So no, I don't have a hill I'll die on 🤷🏽‍♀️

The hill I'll stand on is curiosity. Humility. Lifelong learning. And putting patients before pride, certainty, or ego.

Because the best clinicians aren't the ones who never change their minds, they're the ones willing to change when the evidence, their experience, or the patient's story leads them in a different direction.

Chronic stress, cortisol spikes, PPIs, diuretics, antibiotics, and certain medications all accelerate magnesium depletion.

For patients on extended antibiotic treatment for Lyme disease or managing multiple medications, depletion is almost guaranteed without deliberate supplementation.
