The Lyme Disease (Borrelia) rapid test kit checks for recent or current infection in human blood by detecting IgG and IgM antibodies. It gives results in 10 minutes and helps doctors make a quicker diagnosis and start treatment if necessary.
Having IgG or IgM antibodies means you've been exposed to the bacteria that cause Lyme disease, but it doesn’t confirm active illness. IgM antibodies appear soon after infection, while IgG antibodies can stay in the body long after symptoms are gone.
The test is 98.1% accurate compared to the ELISA lab test. It works with fresh blood from a finger prick or vein. It can detect IgG and IgM antibodies for Borrelia strains found in Europe, North America, and Asia.

Lyme disease, also called Lyme Borreliosis, is an infection spread by ticks. The most common early sign is a red, expanding rash called erythema migrans, which usually appears about a week after a tick bite. The rash doesn't usually itch or hurt. However, around 25–50% of people infected don’t get a rash.
Other early symptoms can include fever, headache, and tiredness. If not treated, Lyme disease can cause facial muscle weakness, joint pain, severe headaches, neck stiffness, or heart problems.
Months or even years later, some people may get repeated joint pain, tingling, or shooting pains in the arms and legs. About 10–20% of people still feel tired or have joint and memory problems for months after treatment.
It can take up to 2 months after infection for Lyme disease antibodies to show up in a blood test. Once they form, antibodies can stay in your body for many years, even after treatment.
Lyme disease is usually easy to treat if caught early. If you think you might have it, or if you get a positive result after performing this at-home Lyme disease test,see your doctor as soon as possible.
The Lyme IgG/IgM Rapid Test Cassette is a test that checks for IgG and IgM antibodies to Borrelia in blood, serum, or plasma samples. During the test, the sample mixes with Borrelia-coated particles in the test cassette. The mixture moves up the membrane and reacts with anti-human IgG in the IgG test line area.
If the sample has IgG antibodies to Borrelia, a colored line will appear in the IgG test area. If the sample has IgM antibodies, a colored line will appear in the IgM test area. If there are no antibodies, no colored line will show, indicating a negative result.
A control line will always appear to confirm the test worked properly and the correct amount of sample was used.
