Over Half of Wisconsin Deer Ticks Carry Lyme Disease
A newly released study from the Marshfield Clinic Research Institute has delivered a clear look at the specific pathogen risks facing anyone stepping into the upper Midwestern woods.
Data from the institute’s Tick Inventory via Citizen Science (TICS) project reveals that just over half of all deer ticks tested in Wisconsin carry the bacteria responsible for Lyme disease.
The findings, published on May 15, 2026, by lead authors Dr. Alexandra Linz and Dr. Jennifer Meece, compile the results of 12,493 tick submissions sent in by residents over a two-year period.
