You could also do you own study. I saw a person walking along with a large white flag dragging for ticks in the video.
Not sure who you would send them to though.

I guess my concern is two fold.
They find Lyme....but don't tell us (we already know the answer though).
Or, like Igenex, have difficulty isolating the disease in ticks.
I know of too many people who sent their ticks in to be tested,
Got a negative test on the tick,
And went on to development Lyme.
Hmmmmm.
Since maybe we are very close to the NIH funded BioWeapon facility,
Where they developed the C6 Peptide test,
They can use that....it is supposed to be very sensitive (95% or greater).
Maybe just this once Louisiana can get something right.

Hi Geneal,
Hopefully this study will be to your benefit.
The CDC conducted a tick drag about 40 miles north after a veterinarian diagnosed 16 cases of Rocky Mountain Spotted Fever in 2006. These were all confirmed cases.
I'd love to find out the results of those tests. I think we could use the Freedom of Information thingy to get these reports.
