Feeling a Little “Ticky”?

Have you been thinking that those nasty little bugs are everywhere. It may be that ticks are increasing their numbers and different species are in your area. Help us to know if their numbers are truly increasing by collecting ticks anytime you or family members, including pets, venture outside.  This program aims to map where ticks are found, identify the pathogens they carry, and help prevent the spread of diseases, with the help of volunteers.  Knowing where ticks and pathogens are helps public health professionals communicate the potential risk of vector-borne diseases.
