Specially designed notch grabs tick at skin level and removes it completely in one motion
Bowl-shaped end securely contains the tick for easy disposal
Helps reduce risk of disease
without leaving the mouth-parts of the tick implanted in the skin
without compressing the abdomen of the tick, minimizing the transfer of infectious agents (Lyme disease, Babesiosis, etc.)
Instructions
Hold the handle between your thumb and index finger and slide the fork end of the tool toward the tick until it is caught between the prongs.
Lift the tool very lightly and rotate in either direction several (2-3) turns. You will feel when the tick has released its mouth-parts and it is safe to pull up on the tick and Tick Twister®. Do not pull on the tick, rotate with a twisting motion.
The twisting motion is necessary to ensure that no parts of the tick's mouth are left behind in the skin when the tick is removed. This helps to minimize the chance of transfering infectious agents, like Babesiosis and Lyme Disease.
