Might want to call Igenex and ask if they have pediatric test tubes? If I remember correctly it was just 2 tubes for the Lyme testing.
Also the Lidocaine creme for numbing up the area will help for little ones too. Most hospitals have it on hand but not all labs will so you may have to get some from your PCP. It does take some time to numb up so it is a good idea to use it 20-30 mins before the blood draw. I used plastic wrap to cover the area too.
