"Ticknology, what is the worst way to store and ship a dead or dying tick?"

Answer: water + time = decomposition. For PCR testing, do not send a dead or dying tick wrapped in or against a wet paper towel or in pooling water. When in doubt- dry-it-out. *Alcohol (a preservative) is fine.

Terms & Conditions

Ticknology’s tick tests provide a truthful assessment of tick infection status and can be used in determining the risk of exposure to a tick-borne pathogen. Our tests utilize a proven highly specific and sensitive method for detecting the presence or absence of DNA associated with the specific pathogens advertised. However, our tests are not to be used as a substitute for clinical testing. Tick tests do not provide clinical diagnosis of disease and we do not practice medicine nor do we provide medical advice. Importantly, it is encouraged that results are shared with a physician during a consultation. Results from your tick test are kept private and individuals submitting ticks remain completely anonymous. Information about the submitter is used only for the purpose of processing the sample, handling the payment and communicating with Ticknology, LLC. Tick tests are not typically covered by medical insurance, even though our consultants and possibly your physician may advocate having the tick analyzed for risk of infection.
