4Blood Test Procedure for Lyme Disease
There is no need for any advanced preparation before a Lyme disease blood test. During this procedure, a technician will use an antiseptic will swab the inside of the elbow before drawing the blood. Next, a small needle is used to draw blood from a vein in the arm. Overall, it should be painless, although you would feel a slight prick when the technician inserts the needle into the vein. A vial is then used to collect the blood sample, which is further analyzed in the lab. You can go home right after a Lyme disease blood test. [5]
