Tick-Remover

Ticks live in gardens, dunes, meadows and woodland. Have you been in the countryside? Check yourself for tick bites! If you have a tick on your skin, ensure that the tick is removed within eight hours to minimise the risk of infection. Do not anesthetize the tick with alcohol or other antiseptics and do not heat the tick with a cigarette or other hot objects. If the tick is stunned or heated (with a cigarette), it goes into shock and responds by releasing pathogens into the body through its saliva. A good tick remover will help prevent the tick from passing on harmful bacteria in its saliva. Once the tick has been removed you can disinfect the area with alcohol. Make sure to write down the date of the tick bite, the site of the bite on your body, and the area where you contracted the tick bite.

Instructions

  1. Hold the tweezers with your thumb and middle finger and use your index finger to press on the rear end of the tweezers; the grab mechanism will now open.
  2. Place the grab mechanism carefully over the tick – as closely as possible to the skin – and then allow the grab mechanism to close.
  3. Then, with a few gentle tugs, pull the tick out vertically from the skin.
  4. Disinfect the location of the tick bite and put the date of the bite in your diary.
