The tick examination is for information purposes only and does not constitute grounds for starting Lyme disease treatment.
The presence of Borrelia bacteria in a tick does not mean that you are infected with Lyme disease. A large proportion of ticks show the bacterium or traces of it, and infection occurs in several percent of cases, depending on the length of contact with the tick, the method of removal, etc. Also, a negative test result for a tick does not mean that it is not infected: this is only verified by a blood test. Without performing such an examination, do not take any therapeutic measures on your own.
