Participants needed for North Carolina’s tick collection study [Video]

It’s almost springtime – and that means it’s time to look out for things like ticks.A local health department and university are teaming up and asking those in Guilford County to take part in a study collecting ticks.”I try to walk in places where there’s no ticks,” walker Bill Wells said. “If I found a tick on me and I’m walking? I would probably freak out, honestly,” walker Kaylee Secudino said.
