[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I think you can actually take the tick to their Sterling location for testing/identification or mail it to them. We did this about 2 years ago and got a quick response. You can also send them a picture to identify what kind of tick it is. We tried this first and they got back to us right away. I just wasn’t able to get a good enough picture so we sent it in.

Bumping this- I used your recommendation and had a nymph deer tick tested that I pulled off of my son this weekend thru this company. I cannot say enough about this company! We live in Vienna and I was able to take the tick over yesterday, drop it in their special mailbox and I had a text early this morning with results (negative for Lyme!). Also helpful that they give you an approx number of hours it was attached (2-4 in our case).

It’s so quick to get results that I think it makes a lot of sense to have the tick tested before you do prophylactic antibiotics. I would have prob done the meds if the tick was positive even with such a short attachment time.[/quote]
