I was reviewing your post on LD and came upon an old note I kept. Have you come upon the following comment with regards to the antihistamine, loratidine.
Loratidine 02/10/2015 PORTOLA VALLEY, Calif. — A new study funded by the Bay Area Lyme Foundation and conducted by Stanford School of Medicine researchers has found that loratadine — may be able to help kill Borrelia burgdorferi, the bacteria associated with Lyme disease. The results of this new laboratory study show that loratadine and specifically its metabolite, desloratadine, are able to prevent manganese from entering the cell wall of the bacteria that causes Lyme disease, starving the bacteria and causing it to die in test tubes.
The antihistamine accomplishes this by inhibiting the bacteria's transport system, (Borrelia metal transporter A).
