Can I get 1,500 of these to hand out to junior high and high school students?

Thanks for heads up. i ordered one of them.

It is never to early to learn more about ticks than previously known.
I thought a tick was what only attaches to deer or pets. Never knew there were a variety of different ones.
The resource page showing all the varieties of ticks with images was informative.

This was informative in detail as well.

HOW TO SAFELY REMOVE AN ATTACHED TICK
Tweezers are the best tool to use.
Place tweezers as close to the skin as pollable. Try to grab the tick's head or just above it.
Pull upward with a slow and steady motion.
Try to avoid breaking the tick, but don't be alarmed if the head breaks off and remains in the skin. Disease transmission is not possible without the entire body.
Disinfect the bite area with rubbing alcohol or soap and water.
Your physician may be interested in identifying the tick.
Consider saving it in a baggy or pill vial. Label the container with the date the tick was removed and location of the tick bite on the body.
Pay attention to your health for a few weeks after being bitten by a tick.
See your doctor if you develop a rash, fever, aches, fatigue, or swollen joints.

One exists it's just not in production because no one buys it. Definitely should advertise vaccines better, cause they're good.

I'd love to be able to get an effective Lyme vaccine. The one we have is apparently "about 75% effective in blocking the disease.… 'It wasn't a perfect vaccine, but it was good,'"

And, I can here to say what others beat me to- this poor person's inbox!!

What do a tick and the Eiffel Tower have in common?

They are both Paris sites.

Tick tornado tools are way more effective then tweezers. I've pulled hundreds off my dogs with them.

I scrolled thru this to make this very comment. Tweezers have proven to be worthless most of the time, leaving the head or mouthparts behind.

They're bad this year where I am because of the mild winter. Probably pulled about 30 off my dog this week.

I feel really sorry for the person in charge of this program. I'm guessing they're about to get very busy. I'm also guessing they have a specific budget they're about to blow through.
