Has anyone seen scientific data (studies or reports) that spiders carry Lyme?

It makes perfect sense logically that spiders can carry and transmit Lyme. However, has anyone seen anything published from a reliable scientific source that documents this?

Not exactly what you were looking for, but interesting.

I am sure that you can find scientific articles by both of these doctors, Dr. Richard Horowitz and Dr. Klinghardt.

I don't remember a tick bite, but mosquitos love me and I believe I've had spider bites. It's a scary thought though because mosquitos are always trying to get me!

Me too!

Mosquitoes have always loved me. My husband, son and I would go camping...and I'd get several bites...you'd see them hovering around me...and they wouldn't..or would get one.
