Hi GFPaperdoll. All I know is that he was tested for Lyme Disease and that is what he had. As I said, this was a few years ago. I also know that back in 1993 I asked about being tested for Lyme Disease. The neurologist assured me that it would not necessarily be accurate since in my area we have so many woodtick bites. It, of course, has to be from the tick that carries it. I'm sure my troubles were from shingles that went to my head but did not come out. All the symptoms pointed to that; either shingles or a virus of some kind for sure. Not fun.

By the same token, if you get the woodtick that carries Lyme Disease off in 18 - 24 hours (something like that), it won't transmit Lyme Disease.
