Nashua, NH, May 13, 2025 – May is Lyme Disease Awareness Month in the United States and Canada, and with cases approaching 500K annually, it is more important than ever for people to be educated about this disease, as well as consider being tested. Now, through the end of May, at-home testing provider AcuDart Health is offering $100 off their full test panel. In addition to testing for Lyme disease, the panel also detects common Lyme disease co-infections TBRF, Bartonellosis, and Babesiosis.

Accuracy of Lyme disease tests has been an issue for decades. Many patients are routinely misdiagnosed and end up suffering for years. AcuDart Health provides an at-home Lyme disease test with accuracy higher than that of the two-tier testing protocol recommended by the CDC, as well as tests from industry leaders CVS and Everlywell.

AcuDart tests are able to achieve higher accuracy because they look for more species of the disease. Whereas most tests look for only one or two species, the AcuDart Lyme disease test detects antibodies to nine Lyme-causing species.

About Lyme Disease
Lyme disease is one of the fastest-growing infectious diseases in the United States. Roughly 476,000 people are diagnosed with Lyme annually in the US. That makes Lyme disease cases four times more common than new cases of HIV/AIDS, tuberculosis, and syphilis combined. It is caused by Borrelia burgdorferi, a type of bacteria carried by deer ticks. Lyme disease symptoms include fever, headache, fatigue, chills, joint and muscle pain.

Diagnosis of Lyme disease based on clinical grounds is very challenging because symptoms can mimic many other diseases. Lyme disease can also affect any organ of the body, including the brain and nervous system, muscles and joints, and the heart. Only with accurate and reliable testing can patients determine if they have Lyme.
