I have 2 deer ticks I want to have tested. I called a few of the labs in Dr S's book, but the folks I have spoken with so far don't know enough about the labs (ie what spp of Babesia do they test for, cost of multi-panels, etc.).
Anyone with experience on that?

Specifically, I'm looking for a lab who does Bart, Babesia WA-1, Bb, and Mycoplasma spp.

Does anyone know about a discount for more than one tick being tested?

Thanks all.

Igenex does tick testing.

They offer a 15% discount for testing 3 or more family members.

Call and see if a discount applies to ticks as well.

Hugs,

Personally, I think tick testing is no better than human testing for Lyme.

I had a new tick bite 3 yrs ago and began treatment within 24 hrs.

I sent the tick off to be tested by Igenex for lyme and babs.

Nine days later I became ill with lyme symptoms. THREE WEEKS later the testing came back saying it was NEGATIVE for Lyme and babs.

Whatever!!! [shake] [Roll Eyes]

Cost: $110
