E-Tick allows people to submit photos of a tick which is then looked at by an expert and identified. “We provide them an automatic message back to the user in their email telling them their potential public health or veterinary risk associated with that tick species,” said Dr. Pierre Chuard, the E-Tick project coordinator. “Once you submit a tick picture in most provinces, including the weekend, you will get a quick answer.”
