What Can you do?

The Maine CDC has some great information about tick prevention. What to do if you are bitten by a tick and recommendations on how to keep your backyard tick safer.

 

Save the tick

If you find an attached tick save it and send it in for testing. The Maine Tick Lab will test it and send you the results. Some of the pathogens in the ticks are very dangerous and can be life threatening.
