Colorado is a state where many residents both work and recreate in the outdoors

The vast beauty and bountiful outdoor experiences offered in Colorado are enjoyed by locals and brings many visitors to our state. The result is that more people work, live and play in closer proximity to wildlife and their habitats, which increases exposure to ticks and potential disease. COTBDAA provides Coloradans and visitors information they need about ticks and the diseases they carry, how to prevent tick exposure, how to properly manage a tick bite, recognize infection, and how to advocate for proper care. We also provide support and resources for those who are already affected by tick-borne diseases, including the devastating effects of late stage, persistent or chronic Lyme disease and others.
