*PLEASE NOTE: Your tick will be tested using highly specific and sensitive methods for detecting the presence or absence of DNA or RNA associated with disease-causing pathogens. These tests are not intended to provide clinical diagnosis of disease, nor should they be interpreted as a substitute for clinical testing or consultation with a physician. Once your tick has been processed it cannot be returned to you, but the extracted nucleic acids will be retained and archived, and you may order further tests on the specimen at any time in the future. Bug Bite Thing® powered by TickReport™ does not practice medicine, nor does it provide medical advice. Tick tests provide accurate assessment of the tick's infection status, which is one factor in determining risk of exposure to disease-causing microbes.
