Discount on tick testing
Thanks to a grant from the Friends of Nashoba Nursing and Hospice, the Nashoba Associated Boards of Health (NABH) is partnering with the UMass Lab for Medical Zoology (LMZ) to provide a reduced fee for testing ticks. The partnership will provide a $25 reduction, lowering the cost for one of the test packages found at www.tickreport.com. The discounted testing will be offered for the first 150 ticks to be submitted this season.
To take advantage of this program, go to www.tickreport.com and follow the directions. The discount will be applied at the time of payment. Any questions, contact the Board of Health (978-456-4100 or boh@harvard.ma.us) or NABH at 978-772-3335.
