The typical early sign is a spreading, ring-shaped red rash (erythema migrans) at the bite site a few days or weeks later, sometimes with fever, tiredness, headache and muscle or joint pain. Untreated, it can affect the joints, nervous system or heart. The risk is highest for people who spend a lot of time in forests, meadows and gardens. Antibodies take time to form, so the result can be negative early on.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003ePerformance\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAccuracy: \u0026gt;98%\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSensitivity: 95%\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSpecificity: 98.9%\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch3\u003eIn the box\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTest cassettes\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDroppers\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLancets\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBuffer\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAlcohol swabs\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eInstruction leaflet\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch3\u003eCommon questions\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhen should the test be done after a tick bite?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eAbout 4–6 weeks after the bite, when antibodies have formed.
