Submit a Picture and MMCD Will Identify Your Tick
MMCD Tick Specialists offer a free tick identification service. If you remove a tick and are not sure its species, submit a picture and some details and we will help to identify it. MMCD staff will only identify tick species; we do not offer disease testing at this time.
