Lyme Disease is difficult to diagnose in early stages as the symptoms are varied and can relate to many different illnesses, however rapid treatment with antibiotics is crucial to a successful outcome. Blood tests are also not reliable in the early stages of infection. The Lyme Disease Test Kit tests ticks that have been removed from humans or animals for the presence of the Borrelia bacteria known to cause Lyme Disease, using a highly accurate DNA test. Results are provided within 4 working days of receipt of the tick at the testing laboratory, and in the event of a positive result, the results certificate can be an invaluable aid to a rapid diagnosis and the provision of the correct treatment. The price listed covers the cost of the tick test kit and the return of the tick to the testing laboratory. A £30 testing fee applies which should be paid when a tick is sent for testing. Full instructions and contact details are supplied with the kit.
