A TON of people who have Chronic Lyme and have a lot of issues from it are finding out they were bitten as children, have had it for years, and may have had unexplained symptoms related to it without knowing it. Also, a lot of people have it lay dormant for decades and then it is triggered by a pregnancy, car accident, surgery, or another bite and comes out full force.

Many times we have no idea we were even bitten. Testing is inaccurate, but there is a new test available at Advanced Labs that is more accurate. You can also at least get tested but make sure you get a Western Blot, and review the results yourself. One of the reasons it's so innaccurate is that they don't read them correctly.
