My partner and I recently went to a Lyme MD who looked at our blood under a darkfield microscope.

We saw our blood on a screen. My blood had some organisms in it that were triangular in shape with like a molecule in each corner and also some dumbell shapes with a molecule on each end.

My partners blood had some organisms in it that looked like a 'string of pearls' - 8 or 9 molecules in a row.

These things are smaller than the red blood cells. They are certainly something that shouldn't be there.

I got a positive Fry blood smear last year so could they be the mystery bug?

Anyone else seen anything like it?

We are both Igenex IgG +ve for Lyme. My partner is also PCR positive for Bb. He is panel C positive (neuroimmunology labs) for Garinii, Afzelii, Sensu Stricto, an unknown spirochete, Ehrlichia and Babesia.

Absolutely! Those were likely cell wall-deficient (L) granular forms (photos of which can be found on molecularalzheimer.com) . Check out the second link on lyme-rage.info for an explanation of their function. Pretty terrifying.
