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!
Lyme disease is the most common disease transmitted by tick bites, and Virginia is a high-risk region. Symptoms commonly mimic influenza and arthritis, and may develop into serious neurological or cardiac conditions.

Amazing company to ease worrying mom. My daughter had a tick removed on Tuesday and by Friday I had peace of mind she was disease free. They update you when the tick is received and again when testing is completed. 10/10 recommend
Quick and Easy. Very happy with my experience with Tick Check. Would highly recommend them to anyone in need of having a Tick checked. Results were quick and communication was excellent.
We've sent in several ticks for testing. It's a great service. Fast and clear results. We've had both positives and negative results.
Quick and easy to send the tick and get results quickly. Very trustworthy--I have had a tick tested 3 times and was always happy with the process. One suggestion - let people know UPS will not accept any package containing an insect, so I sent it by regular mail.
I’ve used Tick Check twice now after finding engorged ticks on my young children. It’s a terrifying experience and in both cases the tick tested negative for all pathogens including the bacteria that causes Lyme disease which is common in this area. It is comforting when you’re worried about the possibility, to have evidence that there are not harmful pathogens present. The process is easy and seamless and the results come quickly and are communicated via both text and email. I highly recommend this business.
