Hello all,

My son, Howdyman, just finished his NOBO thru hike today! YAY! Anyway, he called and asked me to see if I can get him a blood test ordered to check for Lyme disease and Girardia. He told me he wanted to be checked for these post hike, has no symptoms, but that he'd read it was a good idea. He also wanted me to check to see if there was anything else he should get checked for. I am a nurse in a hospital and friends with his personal physician, so he was asking me to get this set up for him. If anyone has other suggestions of what he should look for I would appreciate hearing from you. I will be picking him up from the airport on Monday, and will be driving right by the hospital on the way home. Stopping in for a lab draw will be no big deal. Thanks for your help!
