Welcome to the Dr. Berg's Healthy Keto and Interminute Fasting Podcast, where Dr. Berg takes

you on the journey for the truth about getting healthy and losing healthy weights.

This video is about ticks. I had another question. Why don't chickens that eat ticks

get Lyme disease? Okay, because it's not really reported. If you do a search on this,

I don't think there's been even one case where a chicken actually got Lyme disease. And plus the fact that chickens

are known to eat ticks if you let them free range around your farm or your house. And since I'm

living on a farm right now, I have about 20 chickens. And so hopefully they're cleaning up all the

ticks around our area. Now, when I did some research on this topic, I found one experiment that

related to this topic and basically exposed the chicken to a tick that was carrying lime, and the

chicken's immune response was strong enough to defend against this bacteria. Now, the other

thing you need to know is that not all ticks carry the Lyme disease, all right?

It could be less than 1% up to 50%.

So just because you get bit by a tick does not mean that you're going to get Lyme disease.

And this percentage, less than 1% to 50%, depends on the location of where you are.

The other point about ticks is they have to be attached

to your body between 36 to 48 hours or longer before the Lyme bacteria can be transmitted. So if it's

less than 36 hours, chances are that you don't have to worry about it. Also, it takes three to five

days for that tick

to fill up with blood. That's an adult tick. A younger tick, it could be between two to three

days. And so if it hasn't filled up with blood, good chance that you're not going to be infected.

Now, getting back to this chicken question, the first thing is chickens don't have teeth. So if they're

free-ranging, they're going to eat an insect or a bug or a worm, and it's going to go down their
