Care Plus Tick Test for Lyme Disease

The Care Plus Tick Test for Lyme Disease is for use if you have been bitten by a tick. It is a self-diagnosis test used on the tick that has bitten you to indicate the presence or not of Borrelia bacteria in the tick.

The Tick Test is a quick, easy and pain-free process for the person, requiring no blood samples to be taken or any other material from the person. Instead it works in much the same way as a pregnancy test. It is a lateral flow test which will detect the presence or absence of this bacteria in just 20 minutes.

Method

  • Within 8 hours of being bitten by tick, remove tick carefully with Care Plus Tick-Out tick remover
  • Place tick in test tube
  • Crush tick with wooden stick
  • Add drop or two of liquid provided with pipette
  • Place on test cassette

The test indicates if the tick has tested positive or negative. Two red lines showing on the cassette means the tick is infected with Borrelia. The test is highly reliable and has 98% accuracy in its indication.

If present, Borrelia bacteria could lead to infection with Lyme Disease. It is worth noting that just because a tick is infected, it does not necessarily mean that the infection will automatically have passed on to the person bitten. However, it is a very good indication that medical consultation should be sought as soon as possible as Lyme disease can in some cases prove to be extremely debilitating, so it is better diagnosed early.

The Care Plus Tick Test for Lyme Disease is an essential item to have available as the infectious Lyme disease is becoming a major problem in Europe. Carrying the test on you will ensure you are 100% prepared.
