Product description

The SELFcheck Lyme Disease Test is an at-home lateral flow test that detects antibodies associated with Lyme disease, providing results in minutes.

Lyme disease is a bacterial infection transmitted through the bite of an infected tick, and early detection is key to effective treatment. The SELFcheck Lyme Disease Test allows you to screen for IgG and IgM antibodies to Borrelia burgdorferi, the bacteria responsible for Lyme disease, using a simple finger-prick blood sample. Results are available in as little as 10 minutes, making it an accessible first step if you are concerned about a recent tick bite or experiencing symptoms such as fatigue, joint pain, or a characteristic bullseye rash.

This test is designed for use at home and does not require specialist equipment or medical training. While a positive result should always be followed up with your GP or a healthcare professional for confirmatory testing and appropriate treatment, this kit provides a convenient and prompt screening option when access to clinical testing may be delayed.
