A friend went to hospital, got treated for Babesiosis. IKR. Now has a neck lump, right side. I thought that was a breeding ground for lyme germs, right?

I would be curious what the hospital did for the Babesiosis. But it sounds like a lymph node doing what it is supposed to do, filter and trap pathogens.

It would make me wonder if they were treated properly and enough.
