Boronia Posted December 3, 2015 Share Posted December 3, 2015 This was posted on my facebook page this morning. If anyone finds ticks on people or pets can you please send them (the tick) to Sydney Uni. Keep it in a zip lock bag and place in the freezer till you can post it. (If freezing you can place a moist cottonwool ball in the bag too). Write on the bag where the tick was found (town and state) and on (person or animal) and the date/time : the more details they have the better research will be. We are looking for as many ticks as possible to determine whether there is a borrellia species native to Australia and all ticks are welcome. Send it to: Ann Mitrovic Tick Borne Disease Research Unit The University of Sydney Room 294 Blackburn Building D06 The University of Sydney. NSW. 2006 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stressmagnet Posted December 4, 2015 Share Posted December 4, 2015 Note to self: At least you aren't a tick researcher. *beams* Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

*kirty* Posted December 4, 2015 Share Posted December 4, 2015 Squash them and flush down the sink. Oh and I found a few more on my lizard so will post them off. We get them on possums too sometimes so I'll keep an eye out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
*kirty* Posted December 4, 2015 Share Posted December 4, 2015 Boronia, do you have the fb link? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sandgrubber Posted December 4, 2015 Share Posted December 4, 2015 I presume you don't want ticks from outside Australia . . . and that deterioration in shipping may impede research if the transport time is several days? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Boronia Posted December 4, 2015 Author Share Posted December 4, 2015 Boronia, do you have the fb link? This is all I could find Kirty, it was posted on a local info page by someone and they saw it on this page (Cairns Animals Lost, Found and For Sale) https://www.facebook...02245123121070/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
