Very interesting -- and so true. Doctors will tell you "We don't have Lyme in XXX" and then you say: "But I spent a week in YYY, and they DO have Lyme, so could you run a Western Blot for me, please?" Then, if they WILL run it, they want an ELISA, which is useless as a diagnostic tool.

I think I'll look for that article, if I can find it. We have something like over 300 different ticks in the US (and there are also ones that are regional, like Lone Starii (sp?), with its own disease) and the craziness goes on and on.
