It's purely low-potency pseudo-homeopathy (LPH), or allopathic homeopathy (an extreme oxymoron), to prescribe on the basis of a disease diagnostic category. We don't do that, and one of the main reasons allopaths cannot cure but the simplest illnesses is because they do. Of the two forms of quasi-homeopathy, that is the very worst one. Guernsey in the 19th century called the thousands of such so-called homeopaths "mongrels" for good reasons. My buddy! Hahnemann always did, and Hahnemannians always have, vehemently denounced it and them in no uncertain terms because there is no homeopathicity between case symptoms and the materia medica ("materials of medicine") when based upon the common symptoms of a disease diagnostic category. Specifically, show me a homeopathic drug that hasn't cured what we so far know of this dear woman's complaints. Where there is no match of symptoms as closely as possible, there is no application of the Law of Similars and thus no precipitation of the processes of cure we can specifically identify by additional natural Laws or at least Rules of Cure. Anything less is NOT homeopathy, period. Two centuries and millions of cures via The Law of Similars proves that uncommon/characteristic or “strange, rare and peculiar symptoms” lead to an unambiguous match of symptoms and then cure via the optimally ultramolecular dose of the person’s simillimum ("thing most similar"); so our first issue in any case is always and forever and anon to FIND them!

"Ledum...is indicated for puncture wounds and insect bites?" It is? By stupid LPHs, and it’s also just one of many drugs so indicated. Besides, lyme disease, if it turns out to be that, is NOT an insect bite. So don't be telling people things like that. Argh...

What we know about this dear woman's case is:

1. An elderly woman has a red ring around a bite area from a ghastly tic;
2. It is sore and itchy; and
3. She started running a fever and feels weak.

There is no differential information there. Those are all common symptoms potentially expected to result from the bacteria factory of a blood-sucking creepy crawler. That information could not possibly lead to the one in 2500(+) drugs that would cure her, IF she needs medication. Indeed, this will hopefully prove to be a self-limited issue thanks to the wonders of our immune system, for lyme disease is far less common than our fears allow us to reasonably imagine.

Specifically regarding what is known here: 1) the bite of a tic produces such a red ring because the damn thing buries its legs into us -- been there, done that; 2) it itches like hell and is definitely sore, I assure you; and 3) infection produces fever to disintegrate bacterial and viral proliferation, and malaise is an adjunct feature of fever.

Ma'am, I understand your concerns. Can you be more specific about the dear woman's complaints if they persist?

More helpfully, one of the few Hahnemannians in the world is in Norwalk, CT: Ahmed Currim, MD. I recommend that you take her to see him. But I think I can speak for him to ask you to please come to him with details that could prove differential to homeopathic case analysis.

Finally, I sincerely hope the dear woman recovers on her own from what turns out to be a simple bacterial infection.
