We test
Your tick!
Why test?
One third of ticks carry pathogens.
Early detection, removal and analysis of the tick leads to clarity and allows for early treatment.
Lyme borreliosis but also early summer meningoencephalitis (TBE) can be transmitted to humans by ticks. You can protect yourself against TBE with a vaccination, which is not the case with Lyme borreliosis.
Bacteria-borne Lyme disease is the most common tick-borne disease and leads to complex symptoms. In the early stages, wandering reddening of the skin (wandering reddening) can occur with accompanying flu-like symptoms.
What: Lyme disease is caused by a bacterium called Borrelia burgdorferi.
Where: All of Switzerland
How: Transmission through an infected tick
Symptoms: The first symptoms are evident by reddening of the skin at the site of the bite after the first few days or weeks.
In the second stage, serious illnesses that affect the joints, nervous system, skin, or the heart. Symptoms may only occur after weeks, months or even years.
What: TBE (Tick-borne encephalitis)
Where: All of Switzerland (except Geneva and Ticino)
How: Transmission through an infected tick
Symptoms: The first flu-like phase of the disease appears 14 days after the bite. In 5-15% of infected persons, it affects the nervous system after a symptom-free period. In 1% of neurological cases, it can lead to death.
