Hi,

If ivermectin not worked then take Doxycycline for 3 days (it has side effects / discontinue if find anything unusual), Benadryl, tab. Permethrin 5% lotion. If these do not work, use 1% lindane. Use tick repellant (EPA register product), Permethrin treated clothes and lotions that contain Diethyltoluamide (not on hands and face). Your immune system should be strong then they naturally fall apart learn breathing exercises sky technique etc.

Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
