Tick Identification Portal

Especially if you spend a lot of time outdoors, you might have encountered a tick or two this year. Next time, take a photo of it! The Public Health Department tracks what ticks are showing up in our community. Take 2-3 clear photos, and then a Public Health Sanitarian will respond with the identification. Visit the website for information on how to take a helpful tick photo.
