Hi Big Red,
I am one that has those same issues with the ticks liking me more than others while I was still infected was quite disturbing to be honest. But now that I'm healed, I am now the one that bugs only bother slightly. But even with that, I have still had about
6 ticks attach this year and have had 3 of those bites be highly suspicious for Lyme.
I started using Astragalus back in January for some protection against Lyme, as Buhner suggests. He says that it raises the parts of the immune system that fight Lyme, so it's not for use for those with chronic Lyme as it could cause a severe herx reaction.
This link explains the dosing for new tick bites:
