You’ve told us a little bit about you, now we’d like to collect some information about your tick to help us track the spread of ticks/pathogens. The contact information you provided on the previous pages is held in strictest confidence. The information here, pertaining to your tick and/or tick bite, will be shared (anonymously) in our public database.
To start, please tell us where you MOST LIKELY picked up this tick. It may have been around your home, in which case you’d give us your home city/state/zip. But in many cases, people find ticks after returning from someplace away from the home (eg. park, beach, or hiking trail). If you’re not sure, give us your best guess for where you think you picked up your tick.

If your Tick is NOT a Blacklegged "Deer"Tick (shown above) it will NOT be tested.
