CNY Lyme and Tick-Borne Disease Alliance
The Alliance is a collaborative of providers, scientists and community members who support research, drive education and promote awareness to combat tick-borne diseases.
Shoutout to the incredible interns who are helping us crush our goals this summer! Fresh perspectives & new talent has given us so much growth in such a short time! 🌟 Meet MADDI! 🌟
Maddi Cupernall started their internship with the Alliance this past May and has been a valuable addition to our team. Maddi is pursuing a Bachelor of Science in Environmental Health at the SUNY College of Environmental Science and Forestry (ESF). Drawing on their experience as an EMT, Maddi quickly developed the skills to effectively communicate tick prevention information to diverse populations at community outreach events and immediately made an impact during one of our busiest times of the year. Since joining the Alliance, Maddi has assisted with several community education events, supported data management and recordkeeping, and contributed to public engagement efforts across Central New York. We are excited to continue supporting Maddi's growth in the field of public health and are extremely grateful for their dedication to our mission of raising awareness and preventing tick-borne diseases throughout our community.

The Alliance likes to recognize everyone & everything that contributes to tick prevention so today we're giving a massive shoutout to the 4 legged, 3am waddling through the back yard critter - the Opossum!
👉They can vacuum up and snack on up to 5,000 ticks in a single season!
👉They are meticulous groomers. When they walk through the brush and pick up hitchhiking ticks, they don't let them bite. They groom them off and eat them. Delicious!
