Save your ticks to be tested before you treat. This company has a great turn around time.
This week, we received a nymphal lone star tick from Anne Arundel County, Maryland, and confirmed it was infected with Borrelia lonestari bacteria. This is a pathogen that can cause Southern tick-associated rash illness (STARI) in its host.
Amblyomma ticks from the Old Line State have also tested positive for Ehrlichia ewingii and Ehrlichia chaffeensis (ehrlichiosis) and Rickettsia parkeri (rickettsiosis).
Instead of guessing what a tick could have exposed you to, send it to TickReport to know for sure! Testing for pathogens that can cause Lyme disease, anaplasmosis, and more begins at just $60—visit us at www.tickreport.com or email us at support@tickreport.com for more information!
