It's part of MDL's Lyme panel. Supposed to be better than an ELISA. I wouldn't put much faith in it on it's own. I think the C6 is supposed to be found on all strains of Bb. I could be wrong on that.

It is the test used by vets in the Snap 3 test most dogs get during their annual check. Snap 3 checks for Lyme, Ehrlichia and heartworm.

So, you see, dogs get checked for Lyme and people don't.

Some world, huh.

Vets around here are getting lots of Lyme positive dogs. Want to know how Lyme is in your area? Call a local vet.

"Want to know how Lyme is in your area? Call a local vet." Better yet, get your local vet to test and treat you. Do you think that is possible. I am going to check with my vet on Monday. Should be interesting.
