£10.00

The Care Plus Tick Test is a self testing kit for immediate use after a tick bite, hopefully this will be negative giving you piece of mind or if positive enabling you to seek immediate medical attention.

The Tick-Test indicates if the tick is infected with the Borrelia bacteria which leads to Lyme disease in humans. If the tick does test positive for the bacteria it does not necessarily indicate the person has been infected. However, medical attention should be sought quickly allowing for treatment preventing some of the most dangerous and long lasting symptoms. Lyme disease is an infectious disease that is widespread in Europe and is on the increase in the UK.
