Very cool. Can't wait for them to be able to detect all the co-infections, too.

I have had the George Mason Lyme urine test. I have Bartonella but for many years it has been undetermined if I have Lyme . I had the Igenex test and it was negative with some weak positives. My Dr. had me take the urine test for Lyme. I think it was about 700 dollars but I just had to finally have an answer. Supposedly, there are no false negatives or positives. I tested negative. My Dr. never believed I had Lyme but I had lots of symptoms so I was always uncertain. I guess it's all Bart.

Have trouble believing in any infallible lyme test.
