When you've been bitten by a tick, whether or not you have seen a rash, if you experience any symptoms in the days to weeks following the bite you'll need to be tested for Lyme Disease.

Print out the test requisition test.
For the IGENEX Lab you'll need at minimum tests 188 &189 which are the Lyme IGG and IGM tests.
