Comment:  As Missileers are very concerned about health issues:  Did not know about this healthcare service for active and retired until today.   See the link for list of eligibles.
My cousin is suffering from a tick bite that has seriously affected his life, so this is vital information, not to be taken lightly.

Quote:

MilTICK is a free tick testing and identification service available for ticks removed from Department of Defense (DoD) personnel​ and their dependents.  Formerly known as the DoD Human Tick Test Kit Program, this service is provided by the Laboratory Sciences Directorate at the Defense Centers for Public Health - Aberdeen in​​​ Aberdeen Proving Ground, MD.

Any tick found biting an eligible person can be submitted to MilTICK by health care providers through tick kits available at DoD health care facilities, or by individuals through a simple mail-in process.  Ticks will be identified to species, assessed for how long they have been attached, and tested for human pathogens.  The results will be reported back to the point of contact provided on the MilTICK form, and will be used to assess the risk of tick-borne disease to Military personnel
