Private Tick-Borne & Lyme Disease Testing Calgary
Ticks in North America are frequently "multi-carriers," meaning a single bite can transmit several distinct illnesses at once. A standard test that only looks for Lyme disease may miss the underlying cause of your symptoms. Through our partnership with Mayo Clinic Laboratories, we facilitate a specialized antibody screening to identify the four most prevalent and clinically significant pathogens simultaneously.
Pathogens Monitored in This Panel:
Lyme Disease (Borrelia burgdorferi): A tiered diagnostic approach starting with total serology and moving to reflex immunoblotting for definitive laboratory confirmation.
Babesia microti: Screening for this parasitic infection that targets red blood cells, often causing malaria-like symptoms, night sweats, and anemia.
Ehrlichia chaffeensis: Identification of IgG antibodies to detect Human Monocytic Ehrlichiosis (HME), which can cause fever, chills, and muscle aches.
Anaplasma phagocytophilum: Specialized testing for Human Granulocytic Anaplasmosis (HGA), a serious bacterial infection transmitted by the black-legged tick.
For those primarily concerned with a specific exposure to Borrelia burgdorferi, we facilitate a rigorous, lower-cost diagnostic path. Following CDC-established criteria, we ensure that every result is backed by multiple levels of laboratory verification to minimize the risk of false negatives and provide a clear picture of your infection status.
The Diagnostic Process:
High-Sensitivity Serology: The laboratory begins with an initial screen to detect the presence of Lyme-specific antibodies in your system.
Automatic Reflex Immunoblotting: If the initial test is positive or equivocal, the laboratory automatically performs secondary IgG and IgM Immunoblots to confirm the finding.
Sophisticated Band Analysis: The clinical report evaluates specific protein bands—including p93, p66, p41, p39, and p23—to determine if the results are consistent with an active or previous infection.
Early Infection Detection: The laboratory's IgM criteria are specifically optimized for diagnostic utility during the critical first four weeks of early Lyme exposure.
Modern life comes with its conveniences, but it also introduces our bodies to a range of harmful substances, including heavy metals like aluminum. Aluminum is one of the most common metals on Earth and is widely used in various products. While exposure in small amounts may not seem harmful, consistent exposure from multiple sources can lead to aluminum toxicity, with significant impacts on health.
No we are not connected with provincial health or any other organizations, this is 100% private testing. No requisition is needed, you pay for the tests you want and the PDF results are posted to your account and only your account. You can download them and do with them as you please.
Different tests have different turnaround times, and we generally tell people to expect a result window of 1-7 days. A complete blood count would be resulted the next day for example, and vitamin D or hormone test may take 4-5 days. Specialty tests could take several weeks so it is best to check with our team when booking.
No we are 100% private, anyone can access our tests you do not require provincial health coverage or even Canadian citizenship.
Blood work can be very traumatizing for young children and we have a soft policy not to draw blood from anyone under 6 years old. Depending on the testing you are looking for, there are non invasive options like OligoScan and urine testing that can work instead for young children, just reach out to us.
Each test has its own price, which can be found by clicking the book now link on our site. We do not offer multi test discounts, the price of each test remains the same regardless of the number of test purchased. You can pick and choose whichever tests you like to meet your needs.
