Not only that but the test is very unreliable. If you flip a coin you will get just as good results and save $200. Why wait, drink some CS for a few days after the bite, then don't worry about it.

    Hi:

    My wife, Jane, was bitten by a tick while visiting her mother on
    Shelter Island, one of the Lyme capitals of the world.
    Anybody out there with knowledge of what should be done
    immediately to deal with the possibility (probability?) of
    infection with Lyme?
    My understanding is that if you catch it early, it is easier to
    eliminate, but doctors here in Vermont don't know much about
    dealing with Lyme.
    There is actually too much information on the web, if you can
    believe that, she wants an answer fast and my head is spinning
    with the many Lyme articles I have already read, none of which
    were targeted at what to do right away if bitten.

    We were told here that you have to wait four weeks to test to see
    if you have been exposed to Borrelia burgdorferi (Lyme
    spirochete), and then the test (not sure what test they are
    talking about) costs $200, is NOT covered by Medicare or our
    health insurance, and may or may not be reliable. Anybody know
    about that?

    Thanks,
    Del
