Happy Giving Tuesday! Giving Tuesday is a global generosity movement unleashing the power of people and organizations to transform their communities and the world.

Donations help Bebop Labs tackle health and environmental issues. 100% of donations go directly to supporting our purpose. Your donation is tax deductible. We greatly appreciate your support!

1. BeBop Labs is collecting, identifying, and tracking areas with heavy tick populations and tick-borne diseases. Our organization is part of Prevention and Awareness, Surveillance, and Diagnosis. Our success is due to the efforts of community scientists. With the changing climate, it is now a necessity to continually track our risk of tick-borne diseases, especially in our northern and underserved state of New Hampshire.

2. BeBop Labs offers water testing, consultations about the results, and recommendations for improvement.

3. Our future lab will be open to the community, local businesses, and, of course, schools.

Pictured is an adult male blacklegged tick. Blacklegged ticks are also known as deer ticks and can carry diseases like Lyme. It’s a common myth that only female ticks bite, but male ticks do it too! They do not lay eggs, but the males still need blood to move through their life stages.

Blacklegged (deer) tick season is still upon us. This is a picture of an engorged Blacklegged tick. A tick can stay attached for 3–5 days, slowly drinking blood and getting bigger as it feeds.

One of the most interesting and alarming facts about ticks in New England is that the region is a hotspot for Lyme disease, with some of the highest infection rates in the United States. The primary culprit is the blacklegged tick (Ixodes scapularis), also known as the deer tick.

But here's the really fascinating part:

Ticks in New England can carry multiple pathogens at once, meaning a single tick bite could infect you with Lyme disease, anaplasmosis, babesiosis, and even Powassan virus all at the same time.

This phenomenon is called co-infection, and it's more common in New England than almost anywhere else in the U.S.

In the future we will test for microbial presence in other vectors and environmental sources as well as provide public access to a collaborative science laboratory for our community to solve their unsolved problems.

Our guiding principles are:


  • Health and wellbeing of our community, employees, and partners.

  • Increasing knowledge and understanding through dissemination of scientific data, innovation, and hands- on education.
