Tick Identification and Testing Services
The Monmouth County Mosquito Commission (MCMEC) currently provides the service of Tick Identification and Testing for the residents of Monmouth County. This service serves as a "first alert" for people receiving a tick bite. Different tick species are known to transmit different disease causing organisms, therefore knowing the species involved in the tick bite incident may alert you or your health care provider to watch for specific diseases.
Individual citizens can submit ticks for identification to species, stage of development, and relative degree of engorgement. The best way to remove attached ticks is to grasp the tick with fine-tipped tweezers as close to the skin as possible; then pull straight up with a slow, steady force. Try to avoid crushing the tick or destroying it in any other way. Clean the area of tick attachment with an antiseptic. Removed ticks can be saved in any sealed container to be later identified and tested. Attached ticks should not be removed with noxious chemicals or by burning. This may cause injury to the skin and can increase the risk of transmission by causing the tick to regurgitate disease causing organisms into the body. Do not place ticks in tape! This makes subsequent identification and testing much more difficult. For more information, download the information brochure, or visit their website at www.visitmonmouth.com/mosquito.
