Best Place to Send Ticks to get Tested?

More questions coming my way - I know out here we can send the ticks to Stonybrook, but is there a better place? And I have some friends out west too - advice please? thanks!

I second jrpsf's link.

You can also send ticks to Igenex.

Looks like Igenex is $68 per test.

I don't know if this is a current price though

I've sent two ticks for free testing in Arizona U. Last year I found a nymph crawling across the hardwoods in living room. Bagged it and sent it in just to see if ticks in the yard were carrying BB. Four weeks later I got an e-mail saying tick was not found in the bag. Go figure.

I removed an engorged tick from my bottom side last April 16, bagged it and mail it in next day. Hopefully I'll get results any day now. I'll post results.

Chapelle I also recently read that neighboring Umass Medical also offers testing for a fee. I'll do a google as well.

https://www.tickreport.com/ for $50 per tick
