Tick Busters: An educational series for children – Kindergarten through 6th Grade
“As a pediatric physician and Governor of Virginia, I have become acutely aware of the danger posed by ticks and the diseases they can carry. Lyme disease has become the number one vector-borne disease in the United States, and it is essential to educate children and families on its prevention. Therefore, I am pleased to recommend Tick Busters: Wanted Dead or Alive. It’s an entertaining children’s booklet that does an excellent job of educating and focusing on the awareness and prevention of Lyme and other tick-borne diseases.”
— Governor of the Commonwealth of Virginia (2018 – 2022), Ralph Northam, M.D.

The original booklet “Tick Busters Wanted Dead or Alive” was created by a group of concerned and dedicated teachers, parents and advocates who wanted to educate young people about the danger of ticks. This booklet is dedicated to a young man who lost his life due to Lyme disease. A series of companion outreach materials are included in our Tick Busters Bundle, including a coloring book, an informational brochure, a rack card, a tick identification card/Tick Busters membership card and a fun temporary tattoo. The series inspires children to take preventative action, use repellants, avoid tick habitats and become an advocate to educate others.
