If you are in Carlton County, Minnesota, be advised, the ticks are out!
Two were found on a dog Sunday, April 21st near Cromwell, and an individual in Carlton reported finding ticks last week as well!
If you find a tick and would like to submit it to the Ixodes Outreach Project to use in our research you can write us to request a free tick kit. Kits come with a tick ID card, a tick removal key, and specimen submission materials. Send your request by email to us at:
ixodesoutreach@gmail.com.
Or simply place the tick in a Ziploc-style baggie and mail it to us via USPS at:
Ixodes Outreach Project
1035 University Drive
Duluth, MN 55812
Attn: SMed 332
When submitting a tick, please indicate where the tick was found, the date it was found, whether it was attached to a person or animal and, if you would like to receive additional information, please provide your name, mailing address &/or email.
