Bitten by a tick? Find out if it carries Lyme disease!

Over 43% of ticks carry Lyme or another tick-borne disease. ^[1]

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:

1. Order a tick test on TickCheck.com
2. Send your tick directly to our lab - no waiting for a kit!
3. Get your tick test results within 24-48 business hours of lab receipt.

Test your tick now to determine your risk of contracting Lyme.

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!

  A very thorough company -- tested the tick and the results included that the tick did, indeed, test positive for Lyme, but that due to it's size and amount of blood, was only attached for 7 hours or less. That knowledge caused me to not have to go on a preventative 3 week dose of antibiotics! (It usually takes about 24 hours of attachment to transmit Lyme.) Love this company!

  This service was so valuable to me! The staff was extremely helpful, sympathetic and educational, I got the results in 24 hours.Their website is very educational, so much helpful information. Being able to have the tick tested was such a relief, my fear & anxiety about contracting a tick born disease was great. I was lucky the tick that bit me was bacteria free. What a relief! I highly recommend Tickcheck lab.

  I used TickCheck to analyze a tick I pulled off of me. I wanted to know if it carried any diseases. It was very easy to fill out the form and the directions were clear on how to send the tick in. I got the results very quick. I will definitely use them again if I get bit again. Thanks.

  I trust the analyses of TickCheck and was glad to know the tick on my dog was not infected. It took a little longer than I would have liked because I submitted the sample on a Friday before a holiday weekend.
