I am about to order the following for my Lyme test via Infectolabs.

- LymeSpot Revised (Elispot)
- Bartonella
- Babesia

Is it worth requesting the western blot as well or is that overkill?

Opinions appreciated

I think that if you are spending the money to get tested, that you should get the western blot test as well for peace of mind. It minimizes false positives and give you a better idea of the bands that test positive.

I agree - have the Western Blot done - IgM and IgG
