Hi all, I tested positive for bartonella and have seen the typical bart rash pics. I can say that i have never had these up until a couple of weeks ago.
Just wanted to ask how long they last on people. Do they stay for ages or do they appear then disapear fairly quickly. I have had what looks like two or three sratches on different parts of my body. They flare up but only last about an hour or two before they are gone.
thanks Steve
