the Tick Research Lab of Pennsylvania offers laboratory tick testing services. While our test results can be useful in determining your risk of exposure to tick-borne diseases, you understand that our testing services are intended for informational purposes only and are not intended to diagnose, treat, cure, or prevent any disease. Your receipt of a negative tick test from the Tick Research Lab of Pennsylvania cannot guarantee that you will not contract the disease tested for, nor does a positive tick test from the Tick Research Lab of Pennsylvania imply that you will necessarily contract the disease identified by the test. Additionally, while PCR-based testing is extremely accurate, there is always the small possibility of a false positive or negative. To learn more about the uses and limitations of laboratory tick testing, see our FAQ.
