Tick-Borne Diseases: Ticks are well-known vectors of various diseases, including Lyme disease, Rocky Mountain spotted fever, babesiosis, anaplasmosis, ehrlichiosis, and tick-borne encephalitis (TBE). These diseases are caused by pathogens such as bacteria, viruses, and protozoa that ticks transmit when they feed on hosts, including humans.
Allergic Reactions: Some individuals may develop allergic reactions to tick or mite bites, leading to symptoms such as itching, redness, swelling, and hives. In severe cases, allergic reactions can cause anaphylaxis, a potentially life-threatening condition that requires immediate medical attention.
Scabies: Scabies is a contagious skin infestation caused by the Sarcoptes scabiei mite. Infestation typically results in intense itching and a pimple-like rash. Scabies can spread rapidly through close physical contact with infested individuals or contaminated objects. Treatment usually involves topical medications to kill the mites and relieve symptoms.
House Dust Mite Allergies: House dust mites, such as Dermatophagoides pteronyssinus and Dermatophagoides farinae, are common indoor allergens that can trigger allergic reactions in sensitive individuals. Symptoms may include sneezing, runny or stuffy nose, itchy or watery eyes, coughing, wheezing, and asthma exacerbations.
Rickettsial Diseases: Some species of mites, such as chiggers (larval stage of certain mites), can transmit rickettsial diseases like scrub typhus and tsutsugamushi disease. These diseases are characterized by fever, headache, muscle aches, rash, and sometimes severe complications if left untreated.
Mite-Induced Dermatitis: Certain species of mites, particularly storage mites and bird mites, can cause dermatitis in humans upon contact or exposure. Symptoms may include itching, redness, papules, and vesicles on the skin, often resembling other forms of dermatitis or eczema.
Secondary Infections: Scratching bites or irritated areas caused by mites or ticks can lead to secondary bacterial infections. These infections may require antibiotics to resolve.

Different labs use different software to read the sample. See this post for more details.
One lab may say you have none, another may say you have a lot! - This may be solely due to the software they are using to estimate.
We deem lab specific values using values from the KM method for each specific lab to be the most reliable.
