There is at least one lab that lets you send in your own specimen. My interest is in doing a nasal swab. Buhner has herbs for at least some of the bugs but I need to know which.

Thanks.

This isn't a nasal swab but you can get a Lyme antibody screening blood test and/or the Western blot test here:

Just order online and get your blood drawn. Sounds like results are pretty fast and available electronically.

If you scroll down on this page you'll see the section- "Order Your Own Lab Tests".

I have a number of labs listed- about 10 of them- where you can order your own tests without having to go to a doctor locally to get the order.

Hope that helps!

DNA Connexions has a urine test you can do for lyme, bart and babesia maybe a few others can't remember its the PCR test so it you get a positive than you definitely have that organism.
