If you go for a trail run this time of year in Pennsylvania, there’s a good chance you’ll be pulling a tick (or several) off of yourself afterwards.
If one of those nasty little parasitic arachnids latches on to you, and you’re able to remove it and preserve it in a plastic bag, you can also get your tick tested for Lyme and other tick-borne illnesses!
Learn more about free tick-testing for PA residents at the Pennsylvania Tick Research Lab!
Special thanks to Charlie Crowell for his heads up about this service!
