Louisville, KY is asking residents to report and map tick sightings to prevent tick-born diseases
Louisville, KY tick reporting and mapping program
The Louisville Metro Department of Public Health & Wellness (LMPHW) created the "Spot a tick and share" program to map reported tick sightings. The program was created to encourage residents to report tick sightings in order to prevent tick-born diseases. The LMPHW uses these reports to map problem areas, develop outreach materials, and identify tick species. If bitten, residents can send a tick sample to the LMPHW in order to receive testing for Lyme disease and Rocky Mountain spotted fever.
