Can you eat a tick?
If you eat a tick, the spirochete has to get out of the tick somehow and then survive first the oxygen (the bacteria that cause Lyme disease are anaerob/microaerophilic) then the hydrochloric acid and enzymes in your stomach. Even if all of this is possible, after that the bacterium has to get to a less 'life threatening' place in your body (preferably to your bloodstream) to be able to start to multiply.
