Hi Tincup,
Thanks for the photo. I often wondered about Babs as I have a few chia pets here and there, but none in a large area together like in the photo.
However . . .
The back of that young one looks very much like something my youngest boy had at 18 mos of age. First, he had become very ill with a lower respiratory infection--sounded like pneumonia to us--just about over night! We were so scared.
We took him to a Pediatrician who listened to his chest, Rx'd abx, and insisted on getting him up to date on his vaccinations even though he was ill.
That very night after the doc visit our boy's back was covered in those little red spots. Not raised. Flat ones. I thought it was a reaction to the MMR vaccine though none of my other boys reacted that way.
I suspect all my boys have Lyme. Especially the two younger ones who have all sorts of problems. We had to live in a mouse infested apartment for ten years--thats the time that I became ill, too.
Well, I'm rambling. But I sure wish I could get his primary doc (who feels he is well versed in Lyme as he went to Medical School on the East Coast--and who says that if anything the child would not have Lyme as he would have gotten the antibodies I produced in the breast milk--HA!) to take me seriously.

I had rashes like this, though not over an large an area. I thought rhey were from lyme, but I gues it could have been babs since I gad that too. I guess we can be glad we don't have ebola! DaveS Posts: 4567 | From ithaca, NY, usa | Registered: Nov 2000

Thats the exact samne thing I have on my elbow that showed up ten years ago while I was suffering from numbness, tingling , shortness of breath, and just very out of it in the brain.
They gave me Panic Disorder diagnosis and told me to stop taking hot baths, hence the rash.
I want to find those ducks and beat them

I'm confused....is this a "Babs" rash? I've tested negative before, but my LLMD is saying she still thinks I have it. I do have a similar rash on my legs. She is retesting me, but may treat me for it anyway. I never researched it before, because I never thought I would have it....
Thanks, Carol
