No, but most folks gums bleed a little bit when they brush their teeth, and
even if not you're scrubbing e coli into your tissues at the gumline, goes
straight into the bloodstream.

Cat knock your toothbrush in the toilet, or something?

Sorry, it don't work that way. The trees put oxygen and water into the air
as they "breathe", making the air cooler. And the shade makes the ground
cooler, stopping the absorption of heat into the earth (convert sunlight
into their food, you know, that photosynthesis deal?)

I think what I said was 'get copies of your tests, learn what they mean and here's
why a negative result doesn't mean you don't have Lyme'.

I asked the 1st infectious disease guy for a Lyme blood test, it was
negative. Ortho guy drained my knee and tested the fluid on his own
volition. Second western blot blood test also came up negative after I'd
been on antibiotics for a month. Damn blood tests ain't worth the money.

Not that I recall, it's the other way around, I do believe.

I'm quite sure you can get sick just from brushing your teeth with E coli
contaminated water. Not an exaggeration (would I do that? ;-)
