  • Nice video. Are the round objects you call 'cysts' in the final frame not rbc's?

  • Not RBC's. All the spiro vids and pics were from Bb31 cultures in BSK agar. No blood or human samples.

  • What kind of a microscope would you need to pick up a spirochete? What power? Thank you.

  • Most use Darkfield Microscopes. 1000x total mag. (oil immersion)

  • What an incredibly....informatinve video. Can someone please post to different Lyme videos for other to view. I see videos in response to, but do not know how to make the application. Some "computer savvy Lymie" out there willing? Appreciate all of your hard work and for sharing it lymebug. :)

  • OK, thanks. What size are they? They would be easily confused with RBCs if they are of similar size. I saw research indicating that there are two double flagalla in the spiro that meet in the middle. This has interesting implications when your videos are viewed.

  • Thank you for posting this ! I too suffer of lyme, and have a Picc line

    this is a horrid disease that robs life !

    I invite U to Cammster101 for a short puppet show on lyme

  • Some day the medicine will take care of us, long term Lyme sufferers, beyond the limits of your short guidelines to treat us!

  • For anyone who isn't being helped by doctors, try the lymestrategies group on Yahoo. They're great! Lots of people getting better there.

  • I've lived a nightmare for over 2 yrs and start treatment tomorrow w a picline....

    Google the info below and u will come up w info 9 pages:
