ZEUS wants to keep you safe this Lyme disease season - learn how!

Understanding the risks & actions to take to prevent Lyme disease

ZEUS Scientific proudly supports Lyme Disease Awareness Month and is committed to providing industry-leading products to aid in its diagnosis.  We also realize prevention is critical in the battle against Lyme disease.

The discovery of the bacterium responsible for Lyme disease and how it is carried specifically by deer ticks provides us with valuable information to help prevent Lyme disease. Proactive Lyme disease prevention and testing once you identify a tick or have symptoms is the key.

 

 

Tips & reminders for Lyme disease prevention¹

• At home – mow your lawn, shear the hedges regularly and use pesticide to minimize the opportunity for a tick habitat near your home.
• Out for a hike - cover up exposed skin, wear light-colored clothing so you can see ticks, use approved tick-repellent, avoid wooded and brushy areas, and walk in the center of trails.
• Walking to the beach – stay away from high grass and brush. Don’t forget, beach grass often lining the beach can also be a tick haven.
• Check for ticks frequently - physical and visual inspections should be done regularly. The most common places ticks are found are in the knee, armpits and scalp.
• If you find a tick – remove it as quickly as possible.  The CDC provides detailed tick removal instructions and follow-up guidance.
• If you have symptoms but have not found a tick, see your doctor.  If your doctor prescribes an antibody test, ask for the ZEUS Borrelia MTTT test by name to ensure you have one of the most accurate test available for Lyme disease. You don’t want to miss identification of Lyme disease. 

 

 

 

 

Who would you trust fo ryour family's Lyme disease testing?

ZEUS Scientific has a long record of pioneering new and improved testing methods to detect Lyme disease. We have put Lyme disease patients first since 1987, when we developed and distributed the first FDA-cleared Lyme disease serology test and again in 2019 with the first FDA-cleared MTTT algorithm, the ZEUS Borrelia MTTT^®.  We continually drive development of new and improved testing options for Lyme disease detection.

The ZEUS Borrelia MTTT algorithm detects up to 30% more early Lyme disease than the traditional Standard Two-Tiered Testing (STTT) algorithm. The STTT algorithm requires a second tier immunoblot which adds subjectivity in results interpretation and reduces sensitivity in measuring acute Lyme disease.

Don’t miss a diagnosis with less accurate testing options.  Ask for it by name - ZEUS Borrelia MTTT for Lyme disease testing.
