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 your area is a high-risk region. Symptoms commonly mimic influenza and arthritis, and may develop into serious neurological or cardiac conditions.

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 resting 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!
Worth it! Recently found 4 ticks in the house over a month period. Submitted the bags and received 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.
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 .
I recently sent in a tick for testing. From the tick bite to my end results, was a total of 10 days. They texted me when they received it, identified it and then with the test results. I am very happy with this lab. I am happy with my results too.
This company was so efficient and easy to use. Updates were given as testing was performed. I experienced astonished surprise that I found an exceptional company that delivers as promised. It also provides an important and needed service for the community. Thank you.
