I partially answered my own question, spirochetes are readily identifiable in blood samples. Unbelievable these simple techniques are not used to identify spirochetes.
This link is to a pdf file detailing the techniques used to prepare Bb slides

Borrelia Spirochete Morphology in Peripheral Blood
Summary
Various morphological forms of spirochetes can be observed in blood. This experiment aimed to document some of these forms observed within 5 days of preparing a mini-culture on a microscope slide. Eleven donors with Lyme borreliosis and/or Myalgic Encephalomyelitis provided a fingertip blood drop which was mixed with BSK-H culture medium. Spirochetal forms were observed from each donor mostly within in 48 to 72 hours. Supporting evidence for the spirochetal nature of the agents is provided including micrographs from long-term culture experiments that included 5 of the current donors; and additionally, results from polyclonal fluorescent antibody staining specific for Borrelia species and Borrelia garinii from 3 donors.
