The latest in tick testing with TICK REPORT Education Director Paul Killinger and BUG BITE THING CEO Kelley Higney
Tick Report’s mission is to provide professional tick testing services to individuals and agencies seeking more information about the risk of dangerous tick-borne pathogens.
What can the tick that bit you tell you? What is tick-testing research telling us about their DNA and how can we learn from that data? Does every tick carry disease? (The answer might surprise you)! How long for test results?
While celebrating their 18th year of tick research, Tick Report director Paul Killinger chats about the costs involved with tick testing, more about Alpha-Gal and other common diseases, what states send the most ticks to be tested, tick test statistics, and if length of attachment time matters.
Bug Bite Thing CEO Kelley Higney joins this discussion to talk about proper tick removal and why it’s so important. We also learn more about how the data from Tick Report is being used to help movements like her campaign with Global Lyme Alliance called Guardians Against Ticks.
