Deb Hudman, Missouri's tick specialist
from Farm and Fiddle · host Farm and Fiddle
In this episode, Deb Hudman of A.T. Still University, talks about her project and the various ticks and their diseases. Missourians can mail ticks to her lab--and we've sent her thousands of them--and she classifies them then looks for disease that they might transfer to humans, our pets, our livestock or the wild creatures living in our many ecosystems. On her website, she has begun to post maps and data and you can mail ticks to her to be sure your county gets attention.
