There is no home test for lyme that I am aware of, but you can order the test kits from Igenex and Bowen. They will not send the results directly to you however, so you will need a doctor for the results to be sent to. Also, both require blood, so it may be necessary to get a doctor's order to draw blood at a lab. These are the only 2 labs that I personally would use for testing. Doctors are normally reluctant to use them because some believe there are too many "false positives" reported by both. Another disease they won't (or don't want to) deal with. Contacts for both: www.igenex.com/www.bowen.org/NewSite/LymeDisease.htmlIf you are looking for a lyme-literate doctor in your area, you can go to www.lymenet.org and post in the "Seeking a Doctor" section of the flash forum.
