Help grow Ickly
When you share Ickly, you invite parents into a local health community: follow for timely heads-ups, and anonymously contribute when their family has something to share. Help families with better awareness of what's going around so we can all be more prepared.

Your message to share
Hey, I've been using this new tool called Ickly that helps me track what illnesses are going around my neighborhood. It's been really helpful for knowing if to keep my child home or if they're coming down with something more serious. I think it would be useful for you too.

Knowing what's going around changes your next move
Take them in sooner
Strep going around? Skip the wait-and-see and ask for a rapid test.
Keep them home when it counts
Plan around a big meeting instead of scrambling at 6am.
Send them, but stay sharp
Know what to watch for, so symptoms don't blindside you.
Restock before you need it
Check the medicine shelf now, not at 2am.
Know you're not the only one up
Other parents nearby are awake with the same bug.
Learn what to look for
Read up on symptoms before they reach your house.
The payoff: fewer unnecessary urgent care visits, fewer sick days at work, a medicine cabinet that's ready, and a village awake with you at 3am. The more parents report, the clearer the picture gets for everyone.
“Ickly helps us be more aware of what's spreading in our kids' shared spaces and also be better prepared for what might come.”
