tick testing labs
Not every tick has Lyme, but consider this
Getting a tick tested that has bitten you or a family member clearly depends on how much risk you are willing to take. It could be more proactive to play it safe given how the manifestation of Lyme disease varies from person to person, as well as how often testing can present false negatives (see info).
