I have tested negative by Fry for Bartonella in December, but wonder if anyone with bart has this symptom. (Have had lyme since 1992)
Last Sept. I had strange new rashes which are now mostly gone, but have recently connected that it was around this time that my right eye started tearing at times for no reason.
If I do cry over something emotionally, it is mainly my right eye and it tears like crazy.
I also had a temp of 102 for a week in Sept and the rashes appeared after that.
I've read that with tularemia which I think is related to bart, the eye can be affected, although this is my only eye symptom.
Just wondering if anyone who knows they have bart has this symptom.
My optician said I should check with my eye doctor. She thought it might just be due to a dry eye, although my eyes don't feel dry.

I have had Bart and had blurry vision in one eye. Also tears that sting like acid.
It may not be LD or co-infections related at all (although I tend to believe every symptom is!)
Tearing of the eyes can also occur when there is too much tear production or poor drainage of the tear duct. Allergies, molds, tear duct blockage Conjunctivitis and more can cause it.

I use to have one eye that appeared to be tearing/crying often when I was not crying. My acupuncturist said it was liver related and actually got it to stop tearing.
