Well, it's interesting. I've never been bit by a tick (that I know of).

I've been told by many people that standard tests give false negatives all the time.

Being able to actually see the organisms make their way into white blood cells was really strange, plus it's definite proof positive that they are there. About 1/2 of the white blood cells that we spotted were infiltrated with these organisms. Some of the organisms were actually in the process of penetrating the white blood cell wall.

The woman providing the service (a friend of ours) said that everyone she's tested in the past 5 years (if I remember right) had lyme.
