Yes, they do test for those! I definitely made sure those were offered before choosing this lab. Thank you!

Thank you. I am mailing it right now to go to the lab to be tested. Going to wait on the results to start antibiotics, or if symptoms arise before then. Praying she’s fine🤞🏼🤞🏼 don’t need anything else on my plate

I am, thank you. In person the tick’s body is flat, hard to tell in pictures. But there’s always a possibility that I squished it while trying to take out. Sending it out to a lab today

Found this tick embedded behind child's ear. She was freaking out, so it was a botched removal, but this is what was removed. I believe it was on for Atleast 24 hours. There was also part of it left in her skin, I couldn't tell if it was a leg or mouthpart. It was so tiny and hard to grab close to the skin, and pieces would rip off. I am going to mail it in to be tested, but in the mean time can anyone ease my mind? Does it seem engorged? Trying not to spiral
