This sounds moderately worrying to me. Most of us get a fair few ticks implanted each season, some of us allegedly have sex occasionally, only 50% of Lyme cases actually present with the bulls-eye rash we all know to check for.
I am not good enough at reading journal abstracts to know whether this is actually worrying, and the journal article is behind a subscription paywall.
Anyone have any thoughts?
Abstain? 😉
Not a problem for most of the misfits on STW who only have sex with Mrs Palmer
My OH is a [s]lazy[/s]overworked boy and he gets bitten a lot.
Time to start banning naughty time.
Yeah, I'm not going to be at the centre of an epidemic of sexually-transmitted Lyme disease. It's just troubling to think one might be picking up something properly nasty while playing outdoors that could really screw up the other half.

I'm never gonna bum a tick again!!

Stop dogging bareback then! 🙂
So if I've been treated for Lyme's in the past, am I still spunking spirochetes?

That is most helpful scaredypants. I'm relaxing.

Interesting development. How do I un-send text messages?
only 50% of Lyme cases actually present with the bulls-eye rash we all know to check for.
But if the disease can be transmitted sexually there would also be a significant number of cases of Lymes disease amongst people who haven't been bitten by tick but who do have a fancy for special cuddles with swarthy outdoorsy types.....

.....or eating particular pasta shapes
depends how many you've sentHow do I un-send text messages?

Steady on there, this is an IT forum masquerading as a macho outdoor sport fetish site, hence sex is just something other people have!
Get married? Not much danger of it being transmitted then...

Suddenly I feel like an unwelcome stranger around these parts
Ticks seemingly aren't interested in implanting themselves in me and the wife definitely isn't interested in any implanting
Bah!
I mean, Baaaaaaaaaaaaaa...

Chlamydia is soooo yesterday.
What are symptoms of Lyme? Just, yknow, on the off chance LOL !!

Swollen neck glands, manky throat, post-exercise headaches, fatigue, muscle aches, troubles with tendons and cartilage...

Some Lymies have long assumed the need to be careful.
