This self-diagnosis tick test can be used on a tick that has bitten you to detect the presence of Borrelia bacteria. These bacteria can cause Lyme disease, which is a very serious disease. If the test is positive, a doctor can intervene immediately with the appropriate treatment with antibiotics. The main advantage of this test is that you know directly after the tick has bitten you whether or not you require further treatment. Without the test, you (might have to) wait for the appearance of the red ring (erythema migrans) before the (long-term) treatment is started. And that is actually already much too late because by then the infection is already chronic.
