Gosh, I don't know the answer to this Szabo.

Isn't Arminlabs the one that most go to?

And I vaguely remember someone talking about Gartner Labs in Ravensburg..... Deutschland.

Armin Labs is where most people in Europe get tested.

Many of the LLND's here in Canada use Armin Labs.

Give them a call - I believe it's the Elispot test.

Thank you both, is the armin the one with the bands? I don’t even know the name of the one I had! I don’t want to pay another £700 and do it through my llmd

Borrelia EliSpot
1 Borrelia b. Full Antigen 11 SI
1 Borrelia b. OSP-Mix 17 SI
1 Borrelia burgdorferi LFA-1 ! 2 SI

0-1 = negative

2-3 = weak positive

> 3 = positive
