Feb 17/21 Guest Speaker:  Robert Giguere -IgeneX Inc.

Bob Zoomed in all the way from Connecticut to give us an excellent presentation on Lyme and co-infection testing. This included COVID-19 testing too. Bob covered many questions from members and there were no shortages of questions! Bob seems to know almost every prominent person within the Lyme community. Of particular interest was Canada's refusal to meet or even discuss testing with IgeneX, even though they are certified in all 50 states.
