The Tick Control Bill
Tick control program gets a fresh start in Congress
To reauthorize the Kay Hagan Tick Act, and for other purposes.
Mixed: some good, some bad ·
If passed, the bill would keep funding programs that help stop tick bites and disease, protecting everyday people.
Our take
What we think, in plain words.
Citizens should watch the vote because continued tick control can reduce illness, while losing it could let tick‑borne diseases rise, especially in rural areas.
