I think igenex is ok. Put a moist paper towel of cotton ball in there with the little *******, he needs to be alive.
if it were me I would send to igenex

Probably NONE are completely accurate. Sound familiar?
I felt like I wasted my money when I had mine tested. Came back negative and I got sick.

lymetoo- was it Igenex that tested your tick? are you saying it is not worth it at all? Igenex said it has a 90% accuracy. I was going to send it out Monday to get tested for lyme and coinfections).

oh my mom keeps telling me to bring the tick to the dept. of health and they test it immediately- i am thinking i don't really trust this though. is she right though?

I wouldn't do it again... yes, Igenex. Tested for Lyme and babesia. Lots of money down the drain.

Lymetoo, wow- how many years ago was this? just wondering if they improved their testing since then, if it was awhile ago.
i feel like i have to do it. i don't care about the money really- i throw money down the drain all the time......
