Rashes and fevers

Although a self-test for Lyme disease can help identify whether you have been infected by a tick bite, there are many other more common reasons for rashes and fevers. Make sure that you understand the limitations of blood tests for Lyme disease before considering testing. Always speak with your doctor if you are concerned about your symptoms.

Let's make self-testing better

Our tests are based on the same principles used by hospital labs, and provide reliable, meaningful results, but self-testing is not meant to replace established NHS healthcare pathways. Always consider what a positive or negative result will mean to you before testing, and be aware of the limitations of the test you are using.
