Protect Yourself from Tick Bites!

Tick-borne diseases are those spread by the bite of an infected tick. These diseases can be caused by bacteria, parasites, or viruses, although the diseases caused by bacteria are most common. Several tick species found in Connecticut can spread types of bacteria that can cause illness in humans, and infection with more than one is possible through one tick bite. 

Prevention

The most effective way to avoid getting sick from tick-borne diseases is to prevent tick bites.

Testing

 If you or a family member finds an attached tick, after removal, you may bring the tick in a plastic bag or container to the Middletown Health Department located at 245 deKoven Drive, Room B18.  Ticks are sent to the Connecticut Agricultural Experiment Station to be tested for the presence of pathogens that cause disease including Lyme Disease, anaplasmosis, babesiosis, Borrelia myiamotoi disease, and Powassan virus.

Information on Submitting Ticks

Tick Submittal Form

The health department will then review the required paperwork and send it to the Connecticut Agricultural Experiment Station for identification and testing. Results typically take 1-2 weeks and you wil be notified by a Middletown Health Department employee with the results.  In the interim, it is recommended that you consult with your medical provider.
