Perhaps one would expect, but how many spirochetes are entering the body
in case of a bite from an infected tick? Can't be that many either, but
still the immune system can't always handle them. So, I don't know,
perhaps in some, but not all, cases the immune system can handle the
remaining spirochetes.

Yes. I really don't know, either. Just trying to elaborate on the
point that "cure" does not necessarily equal total eradication of
every last spirochete.

"CONCLUSION:  Ceftriaxone fails to cure Lyme Disease due to the
intracellularity
of the spirochetes."

NO.

Indeed, correct would be to conclude that ceftriaxone fails to eradicate
all spirochetes; which does not necessarily imply that it fails to cure
Lyme Disease.

Yes, this is really the only point that I was trying to make.
