IF, you had been drinking, your blood vessels close down and it could have made it difficult to get a sample.

CLEARLY, there is far more to this story. I doubt anyone can order their own blood tests without a doctor's prescription and proof that payment will be made.
Correct, Sue. Having had tick-related disease one year, I went to Urgent Care when I was bitten again by a tick. I asked them to test my blood to make sure I was not having the disease again. They said I would have to go through my private provider to have the test ordered. This was on a Saturday morning.
