What labs perform the most reliable testing for babs?

The researcher at UNF is not testing at this time.

Thanks!

I would try www.igenex.com or Fry Labs in AZ.

You still can't rely totally on testing for tick borne illnesses. That is why a good LLMD is essential.

I was negative at Igenex, but positive at Fry Labs. My husband was negative at both. We both have Babesia microti.

How can you know that your husband has babesia microti if he did not test positive ?
