Mr. Edwin Symes:

I received a text message this morning from a friend of mine whose wife is very ill. She is from Ireland and was bitten by a tick one year ago. She had a bullseye rash, entered into the Irish system and had a two-tier test. Both test results were negative. She has gone to every consultant in the country to try to figure out what is wrong. She ended up sending a blood sample to Germany to be tested. The text message stated she had gone to her GP who acknowledged that she needed help. The doctor did not want to use the word "Lyme", but she did trust the results from ArminLabs in Germany. She said that if it was her, she would travel abroad for treatment. That is how a GP in Dublin feels.
