Guest guest Posted September 26, 2000 Report Share Posted September 26, 2000 I need to get tested or mycos so I just called the lab here in southern ca and asked about it. I think the lab here is located in Huntington Beach, ca. Anyway, I asked them if the mycos panel they did included the test for Ricketsettia(spelling it wrong I am sure) and they said what is Ricksettia? I said a type of mycoplasma and they said, huh? So what is going on,,,do I have the wrong lab or something? Is there a better lab in southern cali that does testing for mycos? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's a parasite which acts much like a bacteria in your system. There are several rickettsias out there. Go to Ken's site. He has a whole listing on rickettsias, the read will bring you up to speed so we can converse. Ruth Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
