I couldn´t see at a quick look that they are testing for the Borrelia garinii and Borrelia afzelii bacterias which are the most common in Europe. Hope I was wrong. Did you see somewhere how old dead ticks can be, and still be tested? I saved one 6 years ago. Would be interesting to see if we carry the same infections.

I didn't have it tested there, that was just some information I found about the PCR test. I had it tested in Germany, here:
