Malaria is not the same as babesia.

I know but there are many people out there who may not have babesia but have a parasitic co-infection more similar to Malaria. After all most of us are clinically diagnosed.

I for example caught my infections or at least some of them in SE asia. As a result I just get drastically better from my "babs" treatment where as many who have clear cut babesia go through terrible herxing or so it seems to me.

Maybe this is because we have very different types of parasites.

I in fact think I may have one of the "milder" strains of Malaria such as P.vivax.

Malaria is relevant to lyme patients.
