Tick Talk Ireland is composed of a small group of passionate volunteers wanting to provide accurate information about the prevention, diagnosis and treatment of Lyme Disease.
Tick Talk Ireland originally was set up January 2009 by two sufferers, Jenny O’Dea and Janet Fitzgerald. Alarmed by the lack of knowledge and support in Ireland regarding this serious and often over-looked disease, the co-founders set up a facebook discussion and information page to help others dealing with tick-borne disease, most notably, Lyme disease. (Lyme disease is a bacterial infection spread by ticks.).

In more recent years volunteers Mary Smyth and Kathy Forde are now admins with support from members and volunteers.
