Does the Norwalk Health Department identify ticks and test them for Lyme disease?
The Health Department will identify ticks that have been removed from a person's body. Those ticks identified as deer ticks are forwarded to the
Connecticut Agricultural Experiment Station

This service is free to Norwalk residents and has a nominal fee for those who live out of town but choose to bring the tick to Norwalk. Results of the Lyme testing can be expected to take at least five weeks.
