I show the first symptoms (such as: headache, redness of skin, flu-like symptoms and/or paralysis), what should I do?

The best way is to use pressure-seal bags that can be sealed airtight at the top. Place the tick in a pressure seal bag, seal it well, place the bag with the tick in a normal envelope, seal the envelope and send it by post to Biolytix AG.

In a pressure seal bag and if possible cooled (refrigerator or freezer).

You can expect the result within three working days.

Since 2005, the number of TBE-infected persons in Switzerland has fluctuated between 100-250 cases per year. The better climatic conditions for ticks and the fact that more people spend time outside have led to a significant increase in TBE infections in recent years.

An infection initially begins harmlessly with reddening at the site of the injection. In the second stage, serious illnesses can occur with possible effects on the joints, nervous system, skin or even the heart.Insufficient treatment can lead to permanent disabilities!
