Since 2006, TickReport has led nationwide tick surveillance efforts in the U.S.

MedZu’s surveillance for tick-borne diseases is centered in the public-facing TickReport testing service

For twenty years, we’ve been giving people like you straight answers about ticks and tick bites. We created the “tick testing” concept, one that several university and private labs have since tried to copy. But the CDC does not recommend tick testing, and for good reason (more on that below). That’s why we encourage anyone looking for real answers to look past tick-testing labs that may lack the expertise, knowledge and experience MedZu brings.

At MedZu, we don’t do tick testing. We provide a TickReport: an assessment, a risk profile, of your tick bite and the exposures that come with it. And because we listen to your concerns, we’ve added new pathogen screens as ticks expand their range and new germs are discovered.

That’s also why we’re proud to announce that in Spring 2027 we will offer a first-of-its-kind risk assessment for Alpha-gal Syndrome (AGS), better known as the “red meat allergy.” Starting this spring, every TickReport will include an AGS risk score, and it’s free!

Comprehensive

In 2006, we started with a single test for Borrelia burgdorferi. Over 15 years, we have added two dozen additional tests for bacterial, viral, and protozoan pathogens to provide unmatched surveillance breadth

Credible

Our work started with the science of ticks and the pathogens they carry. Our tests are developed by leading Ph.D. experts with decades of experience in tick-borne disease

Reliable

Our team of specially trained laboratory technicians carry out procedures with a rigorous attention to detail that is in our DNA. Their undivided attention guarantees fast and accurate results with every sample.

TickReport.com is the nation’s leader in tick-borne disease risk assessment. We don’t just test ticks, we give you a TickReport which answers the three most important question about your tick:

  1. What species is it?

  2. How long has it fed? and

  3. Is it infected with one or more of 20 disease causing germs?

Watch this short video to understand our logic for why you should get your TickReport. While we agree that not all tick testing is equal, we think the recommendations against tick testing may not be sound or at least worth further consideration. We contend that TickReport provides invaluable risk perspective.

TickReport wants you to Save the Ticks!

Every tick-borne disease starts with a tick bite. But one study estimates that 80% of Lyme disease patients did not recall being bitten by a tick. Thats unfortunate because the tick is the fingerprint clue to the risk of tick-borne disease. Check yourself, check your family, and check your pets for ticks. And if you find one, place it in a zip locking bag, order your TickReport and send it in! The evidence based approach to tick bites will ensure that you get answers and solutions, fast! The videos below are fun reminders. Do you recognize anyone?
