You must act quickly after being bitten by a tick. We know earlier is certainly better when it comes to the removal of the tick, detection and treatment of Lyme disease. Use the Care Plus® Tick Test to immediately determine whether the engorged tick is carrying Borrelia bacteria, which can cause Lyme disease. This (self-)diagnosis test looks like a pregnancy test and provides a 95,8% reliable result within 10 minutes. (study 2011).

This self-administered test and the checklist help provide information early on to you and to your healthcare practitioner. In the event of a positive result, and when you experience any symptoms, we recommend to consult your doctor and take the filled in checklist with you. On the checklist you note valuable information about the bite (date, site on your body, area), the tick itself (size), skin reddening, test result Tick-Test and various possible symptoms. While it’s not a substitute for clinical advice, this test in combination with the checklist can help motivate people, who otherwise might have waited, to seek medical attention, especially if they have a positive result for bacteria in the tick.
