Lyme Disease vaccine in clinical trials

Being trialed in Europe right now, and is showing promise so far.

Thanks for the info. I have two tick bites from our trip to Florida in early April. They still haven't healed.

Wow 2 weeks ago we got back from a trip and I mowed the grass and found a turkey tick on my belt line. I didn't think anything about it but a week later it was red and blotchy and had a irregeular red ring around it. ohh crap. I went to the doctor and they started a antibiotic and did a blood test for lymes . I have not got the results back from the blood test. ohh well I put 15 big old blue gill and red ear on the stringer that day.

Good to hear.  I would have assumed the same thing by your description.

Pretty controversial subject with regular docs.  Word out now in alternative world of chronic lymeis that you need up to 8 weeks of antibiotic treatment - and a bare minimum of 4 when you are bitten and have a definite rash/ring .  If you should become ill later - days or weeks or years - remember back to this and research chronic lyme disease and treatment options.  Its very hard to get rid of past this initial infection time.  Most chronic people would love to have had the bullseye rash to "prove" they have it. The testing is very ineffective - even the very best test. If you ever want to do a Western Blot test - do it through Igenex in CA and DO NOT rely on a western medical doctor to be able to read it.  Lots of lyme literate people on the net can help you interpret it. 

Sorry - this hits close to home as I have friends who have become so sick.  We eventially ruled it out for my daughter who does have Mold Toxicity.  My husband also had rash from a bite and did not receive the proper meds script from regular doc.  Beyond frustrating.
