All Brantford and Brant County residents can submit a tick for identification online.
As of August 6, 2021, the Brant County Health Unit has discontinued the in-person tick submission program following the direction of the Public Health Agency of Canada. Free online tick identification services are available at etick.ca.
Online Submissions
Free online tick identification services are available at
etick.ca.
Through etick.ca, you can submit a picture of a tick that was removed from both humans and animals for free identification. Send in photographs of your tick and an expert will identify it within 48 hours. They will then contact you via email with the results and will provide the necessary public health-related information. All ticks results are posted on an interactive
public tick map.
