What is Report-a-Tick

In the Report a Tick section you will find a short form and we ask:

• Who had the tick

• Where do you think you were when you picked up the tick

• What you think you were doing when you picked up the tick

• Which tick do you think it was

• To take a picture of the tick if you still have it.

We use this information to determine what activities and prevention measures are associated with black-legged tick / deer tick encounters.

Can I send my tick in for pathogen testing?

We do not offer pathogen testing services. You can find institutions that will test your tick for you here.
