Does anyone know how long a lyme test takes?
i was given already 2 tests and this new doctor is testing the blood work again but, is doing a different kind of blood test, more extensive she says. How long would that take?
Answers: When we test for Lymes, we test for both the IGg and IGm. They usually come back in 3-4 days. We treat ppl with doxycycline, it's often used for the tick diseases like Rocky Mt spotted fever, Lymes, and Ehrlicia the same day as it will usually treat all 3 and wait for the results in the meantime. Did you recently get bit by a tick or have you been ill for a long time and trying to find the cause? This makes a difference.
