Lyme Disease 3

I had a second antibody titer done last week, and on Tuesday of this week, I found out that I was still negative. In other words, no antibodies developed against the Borreliose spirochaetes, and therefore, I am no longer fighting an infection. The itchy rash is gone, and I don't have to take anymore antibiotics!

But, I can't help wondering if the antibody titer had been positive, would I have been immune to further infections? I guess I'll just have to do very careful tick checks after long walks in the Wald (forest).
