Hello - Unfortunately I have been re-infected. Bullseye rash, positive tests for babs microti and bart.

The Lyme test came back "unable to complete test because other factors are present." LLMD said this usually indicates infection with a related strain, but not the typical BB strain.

Have others out there been infected with one of the non-traditional strains of Lyme? I'd like to hear your experiences, treatment advice, info on treatment, etc.

If it's relevant, I'm almost positive it was nymphs that infected me.

thanks!

Here is a note I took from Dr. H's 2011 talk at the ILADS Conference in Toronto, Canada:

Borrelia miyamotoi is showing up in ticks in Hyde Park, NY. This strain is in Japan. We can't test for it.

So, you could have gotten the miyamotoi strain of lyme.

Here are a couple links for you:

Thanks, I was wondering about that one. I got this in western NY and it came from nymphs.

I'm on doxy, so that's good.

I don't feel good, so that's bad. : (
