Bentonite Clay for Lyme

Can applying Bentonite clay help facial palsy due to Lyme? Or does the Bentonite clay need to be ingested?

I apply it to my armpits, feet and anywhere a lyme rash pops up as well as bug bites. You can use it on your face k just wouldn’t leave it in to long (maybe 10-30mins) since it leaves the skin very red afterwards. Mix it with apple cider vinegar to make a paste.
