One Infected Tick Could Change Your Life!

The University of Rhode Island's TickEncounter Resource Center is pioneering anti-tick outreach and research strategies to solve the tick problem in Rhode Island and beyond. TickEncounter.org is one of the nation's best sources of information on tick-bite protection and tick-borne disease prevention. Your contribution helps ensure tick-bite protection decision support today and the discovery of sustainable disease prevention solutions for tomorrow.

The TickEncounter Resource Center is a program affiliated with the URI College of the Environment and Life Sciences (CELS).

CELS is dedicated to making a difference for its students, faculty, and the community through the world-class education and research it offers. To make an online gift, click on the link above.
