Posted January 24, 2015. I never saw a tick. Never had a bulls-eye rash. The following is from Dr. Mercola’s website. Just because you never saw a tick and never had any rash, does not necessarily mean you do not have Lyme disease. Don’t rule out Lyme disease if you have Lyme symptoms. Be sure to be tested by a reputable lab such as IGeneX in Palo Alto, California.
From Dr. Mercola: We also are aware that in endemic areas in the US up to 22 percent of stinging flies and mosquitoes (2, 8, 9, and 10) are carriers of Bb and co-infections. In South East Germany and Eastern Europe 12 percent of mosquitoes have been shown to be infected. In addition, many spiders, flees, lice and other stinging insects carry spirochetes and co-infections. Making the history of a tick bite a condition for a physician to be willing to even consider the possibility of a Bb infection seems cynical and cruel.
