Lyme Disease Ab with Reflex to Blot (IgG, IgM)
First-step antibody screen for tick-borne Borrelia infection, with automatic confirmation built in.
Consider this test if:
- A known tick bite or an expanding bullseye (erythema migrans) rash
- Fever, fatigue, headache, joint pain, or muscle aches after time outdoors in a tick-endemic area
- Unexplained joint swelling, facial droop, or neurological symptoms following possible exposure
- Recent travel or activity in wooded or grassy regions where Lyme is common
- HSA/FSA eligible
- Results delivered to your dashboard · Reviewed by a real clinician
- Drawn at a CLIA/CAP-accredited lab near you ·
Reflex testing
If your antibody screen comes back positive or equivocal, a confirmatory immunoblot (Western blot) test runs automatically to verify the result with high specificity. This follow-up is done at no additional cost.
Pre-test considerations
No fasting required and timing during the day does not matter. Because antibodies can take two to six weeks to appear after infection, testing too early may miss an active case; if suspicion is high and the first result is negative, retesting after a few weeks is often warranted.

What members say on Trustpilot
What this test is for
This test detects antibodies to Borrelia burgdorferi, the bacterium that causes Lyme disease and is transmitted through the bite of infected ticks. It is the high-sensitivity first step in the CDC's two-tier testing algorithm, designed to catch as many true infections as possible before a more specific confirmatory test is run. It is commonly ordered when someone has a known tick bite, an expanding bullseye rash, or symptoms like fever, fatigue, headache, joint pain, and muscle aches after possible exposure. Antibodies take a few weeks to develop, so testing very early in infection can produce a false negative, and a positive screen reflects immune response rather than a confirmed active infection until the reflex blot supports it.

Frequently asked questions
View all FAQsHow does pricing work?
Every test shows the member price next to the standard non-member price, so you can see what membership saves you. The member price is our cost — covering the lab and what it takes to run the service — never a profit on the test itself; Mito makes its money on the $9 membership, not on marking up your tests. Membership is $9/mo, and you still pay the lab’s order fee. Prices are itemized before you pay, with no hidden fees.
Where do I get tested?
Choose a partner lab (Quest, Labcorp, or BioReference) at checkout. If your cart spans multiple tests, we consolidate the whole order onto a single lab so you only make one visit.
Is this eligible for HSA/FSA?
Yes. This test is HSA/FSA eligible, and you can pay with your HSA/FSA card at checkout.
When will I get my results?
Your results post to your dashboard once your lab completes them, then a clinician reviews them and your full analysis and personalized action plan (with clear next steps) follow. Turnaround varies by test: specialty assays and at-home kits take longer, and each test shows its expected turnaround before you buy.
Do I need a doctor’s order?
No. Mito provides the lab order for you, so you can book and get tested without a separate doctor visit.
