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.

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!
Easy to follow instructions for submitting a tick specimen. Excellent status updates via text and email (received, processing, results). Results one day after they received it. Hope to not need their services again, but if I do, they are my go to.
Outstanding. When you're waiting for the results know that they will stay in contact when they receive the specimen and when to expect results. It takes a load off. I've now had five or six specimens and thankfully all were negative for everything. I recommend if you can forward it to do at least the $99 testing. Having work for a lab before I know that they know what they are doing.
The process was simple, easy to follow and the results came back quickly. I felt confident in there findings. I would utilize there testing system again and share their information with my family and friends.
They were very quick in doing the test and letting me know the results. so if you have a tick and want to know, they can do the job. June
