By using these features within this application, you are assisting in our research to better understand how and where people are becoming exposed to ticks. This will then help us design better prevention strategies that reduce your exposure to ticks. <\/span><\/p>\n

If you live in a high-risk area, sharing your experience and perspective with us will help us learn about the risk factors for tick borne disease and design better methods that prevent tick bites and tick-borne disease. We really appreciate your input!<\/span><\/p>\n

The Tick App also provides information on how to remove ticks, prevent tick bites, and general information about ticks. If available, information is also provided about blacklegged\/ deer tick activity in your area.<\/span><\/p>\n

Once you download the app and register for an account, you will be asked to take one enrollment survey that will help us capture your baseline risk of exposure to ticks. You will then receive a weekly message to monthly message to start your tick diary during the high risk months (May to September). The tick diary, or activity report, should take less than a minute to complete. It asks if you or a household member encountered a tick and what you did that day. When you start the tick diary, you will receive a daily reminder until you complete 15 reports. <\/span><\/p>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n
