Here's their site:

Someone explain this from their site:

WHAT DOES THIS TEST SHOW?
"The testing that we do is intended to show if the person has been exposed to the bacteria known as Borellia Burgdorferi, the causative agent of Lyme Disease."

So "exposed" doesnt mean its active. So it doesnt really test whether or not we have an active lyme infection in certainty??
Am i not getting it???
And why dont they accept insurance??????

also this is on their site:
"This test detects the antigen or spirochete in the blood. The antigen may not be present in the sample tested if there are very few spirochetes within the blood or if they are in some other organ of the body. Therefore, a negative test does not mean the patient does not have Lyme disease. It means that we were unable to detect Borrelia burgdorferi in the specimen"

So again, you cant rely 100% on the test! Urgggh!
