Pennsylvania Tick Testing Laboratory
Lyme disease, the most common tickborne disease in the United States, can cause fever, headache, fatigue, and a characteristic skin rash called erythema migrans. If left untreated, infection can spread to joints, the heart, and the nervous system.[2]
TickCheck™ can determine with 99.99% accuracy if the tick that bit you carries Lyme or 10 additional tick-borne diseases. Here's how it works:
Symptoms of Lyme appear days or weeks after the initial bite. Only tick testing enables you to determine if you were exposed to a tick-borne disease before symptoms ever appear, allowing you to discuss proactive treatment options with your doctor. Get your tick tested now!

Easy to register your tick, easy to mail to the lab. Communication was clear and easy to follow. They let you know when your tick arrives, and as soon as testing is complete. Nice testing options, and affordable. Worth every penny for peace of mind, knowing if your tick was carrying a disease or not. Definitely will use this lab again. Hopefully no time soon!

We used to have a tick lab in our county, however funding was eliminated, and therefore so was the ability to test ticks locally for Lyme. I'm really impressed with the speed at which this service delivered results, with text and email updates letting me know what stage the testing was at the same day the tick was received. A full workup was completed approximately 30 hours after the tick was received. It is absolutely worth the price, and submitting the tick was extremely easy to do. The tick I sent in was positive for Lyme and I was able to fax this lab report to a physician to get a course of antibiotics immediately instead of waiting to see if or when the "bullseye rash" appeared. The sooner you diagnose and begin treatment for Lyme, the better the outcome, and this company was vital to making sure this happened as soon as possible. I'm telling everyone I know about this service!

Quick, simple and efficient. Downloaded the form, filled it out, paid, mailed the specimen, got texts keeping me informed of the status, and ultimately an ID text and results. Hopefully I never get bit by a tick again, but if I do, I wouldn't hesitate to use this service again.

Worth it! Recently found 4 ticks in the house over a month period. Submitted the bags and received a clarifying call within the week and results the next day. It was worth the $50 for peace of mind and I got a great explanation of what was found. Super easy.
