Below is a link for an article that mentions you may not be able to donate bone marrow if you have LD.  I had signed up years ago and had to contact them to tell them I had LD.  I don't know if they took me off of their list or not, I was never contacted about it.  It would seem from the article that I would not be able to donate, which is a shame.

This reminds me of something I was thinking about one day also. On my drivers license I am an organ donor, and now I am thinking that if something were to happen to me, that would not be wise to do. Did you consider that also KO-LD? I would think that Lyme would be in the tissue of all of those organs that were once useful.    D

Yes, I thought of that too. At least they don't kill your immune system before a organ transplant like they do with a bone marrow transplant.

I wouldn't want my worst enemy (if I had one) to have any part of my body as I am sure it all is infected with lyme and parasites no matter what treatment I have and how much better I felt. Blessings
