Center for Lyme Action

Supporting Advocacy for Lyme and Tick-Borne Disease Funding

Center for Lyme Action logo

Insect Shield is proud to support Center for Lyme Action, a nonprofit organization working to increase federal funding for Lyme disease, Alpha-gal, and other tick-borne diseases.

With nearly 500,000 people in the United States getting Lyme disease each year, Center for Lyme Action is helping bring attention to the need for stronger federal funding for research, education, prevention, diagnosis, and treatment.

Their work helps ensure Lyme and tick-borne diseases remain part of important public health and policy conversations, while giving individuals, families, researchers, and advocates a way to push for meaningful action.

Why Their Work Matters

Lyme disease and other tick-borne illnesses continue to affect individuals, families, and communities across the country. Despite the scale of the issue, current federal funding for research and prevention programs is not enough to meet the need.

Center for Lyme Action helps turn public awareness into policy action by advocating for more federal funding for Lyme disease, Alpha-gal, and other tick-borne diseases.

Their work supports:

  • Increased federal funding for research and prevention programs
  • Greater attention to Lyme disease, Alpha-gal, and tick-borne diseases
  • Improved education and public health awareness
  • Stronger advocacy for patients, families, and affected communities
  • Continued progress in prevention, diagnosis, and treatment

Our Shared Commitment

Insect Shield is honored to support Center for Lyme Action because we believe education, prevention, and advocacy all play important roles in addressing tick-borne disease.

Our role is to help people take practical steps to enjoy the outdoors with more awareness and added protection from ticks and other insects.

Insect Shield’s EPA-registered permethrin-treated clothing and gear are designed to repel ticks, mosquitoes, ants, flies, chiggers, midges, and fleas. These products can be part of a broader tick bite prevention routine that may include protective clothing, topical repellents used as directed, staying on cleared trails, and checking for ticks after time outside.

No single method can eliminate the risk of tick bites or tick-borne illness, but informed prevention habits can help people feel more prepared outdoors.
