As the subject says what lab and what exact test did you get done to get your Positive Bart and or babs test done?

I am thinking of going the Igenex route but not sure what tests to order..FISH, IFA, PCR etc.

thanks

(Babesia test thru Igenex)

Positive through LabCorp for Babesia WA-1 (high IgG tiers). LabCorp farms this test out to Focus Labs.
