Had to take doxycycline for 2 weeks after a tick bite. Man does that stuff destroy your digestive system. 7 years ago was on a date, just casually walking down the street. Coughed a couple times for no particular reason but my doxycycline lined stomach didn’t like that and boom projectile vomiting. Luckily he thought it was funny/ felt bad for me.

it sucks. I've done the full courses a few times for tick bites. it is just very very hard to tolerate.
Earlier quoted context omitted.
The article is about prophylactic use in persons who have had a tick removed that was attached for more than 36 hours. It would have no impact on levels in the tick population (as it's given after the tick is removed) and should have no impact in the human population (considering how low the proportion of people with ticks attached for more than 36 hours is)
I'm not worried about tick-borne diseases in this context (completely agreed with your point there), but rather all the other things that doxycycline and similar drugs are used against. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tetracycline_antibiotics

It didn’t work btw, and I ended up needing accutane, which left my lips ravaged and bleeding for a year.
