Frequently Asked Questions:
Q: I removed a tick one week ago and it has been stored at room temperature. Would the test still be valid? A: Yes. Our assay tests DNA and DNA is stable at room temperature. The results will not be impacted.
Q: I stored the tick in alcohol. Would the test still be valid? A: Yes. Alcohol is a preservative and the tick can be tested.
Q: While removing the tick, I lost the body and trunk of the tick and have only the legs left. Would that be good enough for the test? A: No. The bacteria is usually in the digestive tract and it is necessary that we receive the entire tick in order to get reliable results.
Q: I was bitten by a tick and there is a red spot/rash. What do I do? A: See your doctor immediately.
Q: What is the turnaround time for test 124C? A: Turnaround time is 1-3 days. We usually send results by e-mail as soon as they become available and hard copies along with a receipt follow two to three days later.
