Dr. Harris also helped found the International Lyme and Associated Diseases Society [ILADS]. His son had Lyme disease which led him to work on more effective testing for Lyme and other tick-borne diseases. His son recovered and grew up to become a physician.

He was wonderful. I heard him speak a number of times. His IGeneX tests are how so many of us have some conclusive proof of having Lyme, and co's.
When I first did the test, results came back both positive and negative. My doctor and I did not understand that! So I called the lab and asked to speak to someone.
That someone was Nick Harris and he explained the difference in testing results between IGeneX and the CDC. That was my first time going down the rabbit hole, so to speak, of the intentional low counting of Lyme patients.
I was 4-band positive, and the CDC wants 5 positive bands. So to this day I have never been counted as a Lyme patient even tho I've had it for 40 years.
