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

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.
This service is so worth the money. Knowing that the engorged tick you find on your dog is negative for disease provides so much peace of mind. No need to treat your dog with antibiotics, which are overused leading to antibiotic resistance.
Testing turn out results were fast and prompt! Mailing the tick was also easy. The peace of mind of testing is great.
When I found three feeding ticks on my dog I immediately saved and sent them off to Tick Check. Not only did I get immediate identification of the tick type, but I had my results within a day of my order arriving at the lab! And best news, the ticks tested negative for disease, saving my dog from unnecessary antibiotics and giving me an immense sense of relief! The customer service is top notch and based on that and the fast results I would recommend them wholeheartedly. I'll be sending any future ticks to them for testing
