Ticks are very active in Montana right now. MTDPHHS is asking for your help in their surveillance efforts, and if you find a tick to please report it to them and send it to Helena for testing and identification. New species of ticks may be moving into Montana, but without widespread sampling, we will not know if they are colonizing here or were brought in from an out of area traveler. If you are interested in reporting a tick, please reach out. We have containers available to put the tick in, and are happy to help ensure it gets to Helena.
