LYME ALERT

the TickCrusher by LymeAlert, the first rapid at-home tick testing kit designed to detect Lyme-causing bacteria in ticks removed from people or pets in less than 30 minutes.

Created by physician assistant and MIT Sloan Fellow Erin Dawicki, TickCrusher grew out of her efforts to help patients navigate tick bites and the questions surrounding them.

If you suspect a Lyme disease infection, contact a healthcare professional right away. Early treatment with oral antibiotics like doxycycline usually cures the infection quickly and completely, whereas waiting can lead to more severe joint, heart, or nervous system problems
