WHY SAVE THE TICK?
​
Any tick can transmit a disease.
It doesn't matter how big it is, or how long it has been attached.
​
Tick testing is reliable, affordable, and fast.
​
Tick-borne disease testing for humans (especially Lyme Disease) is unreliable, expensive, and it can take weeks for results.
​
By saving and testing individual ticks, we are able to detect whether the tick itself carries the certain pathogens, helping with early detection and proactive treatment regimen.
​
Treating a tick-borne disease in it's early stages is vital to healing properly. Undiagnosed and/or untreated tick-borne illness can lead to a lifetime of debilitating health issues.
Determining whether your tick was infected provides you the opportunity for your physician (or veterinarian) to offer lab-based confirmation services or recommend a proactive treatment regimen.
Tick testing is not a substitute for physician diagnosis of disease but it can be a useful aid in deciding whether or not to treat in the absence of disease symptoms. Tick testing results can often be returned to you within 72 hours.
​
Remember, that just because the tick may test positive does not mean that the pathogen was transmitted.
