Well, we seem to be tick magnets this year. My husband came home today with a tick on his back.
I looked up Clongen Labs to see about testing it. It's $195 to test for lyme, babesia, and bartonella.
OMG! We are already drained from meds, doctors, and supplements! I really want to get it tested but can't afford that.
Does anybody know of another lab that would do this same test for cheaper? I'm not upset with the lab, just with the cirsumstance.

Igenex .. it's about $55 per disease... but I no longer believe in tick testing.
I had one tested and it came back negative. Nine days after the bite, I became ill. I was on meds from day 1.
Takes 3 wks to get the results back. Rather late by that time.

I am just going to keep the tick in the freezer just in case. I started him on antibiotics right after the bite.
