24. How do you test for and treat (which drugs) the 'cyst' form or 'L' form of the Lyme disease?

Specific tests have been developed to identify some of the various forms of spirochetes using dark field microscopes. Flagyl, which has been shown to burst the cell walls of the cyst form, is currently being prescribed to patients. Normally it is prescribed along with other antibiotics, since Flagyl alone is not effective on the intact spirochetes.
