Last week the team was hard at work putting together tick kits!
We assembled over 50 tick kits last week and will make more when supplies come in. If you are in the Minnesota area and want to send in ticks that you find you can either request a tick kit which comes with identification cards, a tick removal key, helpful information on ticks and their diseases courtesy of Medline Plus, as well as a small sample baggie and return envelope.
Alternatively, you can add hand sanitizer to a Ziplock bag and mail your ticks to us. Just be sure to include where and when you found your tick. You can address your ticks to:
Ixodes Outreach Project
University of Minnesota Duluth
Department of Biomedical Sciences/SMed 332
1035 University Drive
Duluth, MN 55812
More information on our tick kits is available at our website
Thank you to Katelyn France, Andrea Hille, and Zoe Quinn for helping to assemble the tick kits!
