 | | 40 Percent of Tick Patients Have Dual Infections | | When people get sick from tick bites, they often fight two diseases at once. New research shows that four in 10 patients with "American malaria" (babesiosis) also have Lyme disease. "People need to check themselves carefully after being outdoors," warns Dr. Adrian Popp, noting that ticks can be "tiny, like the tip of a pencil." | | | |

His team's new genetic-based method diagnoses common infectious diseases with nearly 90 percent accuracy. | | | |
