In 2018 and 2019 the I-TICK program distributed “tick kits” to “Hubs” throughout Illinois. The kits contained vials of alcohol to hold ticks and those vials would be returned to our lab at UIUC. Despite COVID-19, we will be continuing the I-TICK program but have modified our approach to match the current reality of social distancing and other restrictions due to COVID-19. Participants may take part via the Tick App. You can still send ticks through the mail, however we are no longer providing kits to hubs. For instructions on how to mail ticks to the I-TICK program please check out our How I-TICK Works page by clicking HERE.
