Summary
Illinois public health officials launched an interactive Tickborne Disease Dashboard that maps where confirmed tick species have been found and which diseases they may carry.
The Illinois Department of Public Health paired the tool with a warning on mosquito- and tick-borne illnesses, urging residents to “Fight the Bite” by reducing exposure, using repellent and reporting concerns.
The dashboard is designed to help prevent illness by giving county-level visibility into tick distribution across Illinois’s 102 counties and the risks tied to different species.
