Tick Twister Tick Remover for Pets and People - 2 pack

Tick Twister Tick Remover is specially designed to remove parasitic ticks from the skin of animals and people. WHY IS IT SO IMPORTANT TO REMOVE TICKS?
Ticks are parasites that feed on blood sucked from humans or animals. While sucking blood, ticks may transmit dangerous diseases, as some of them carry pathogens. Unfortunately, the amount of infected ticks has risen very sharply in recent years. In order to minimize the risk of getting a disease, ticks should be removed as quickly as possible, without breaking the mouth-parts, without squeezing the tick's body and without killing it beforehand. Tick bites can be limited by using chemical repellents but these cannot ensure full protection, so everybody (pet owners, hikers) should have an efficient tool to remove ticks. WHY USE TICK TWISTER HOOK? It is essential not to compress the body of the tick during removal, reducing the risk of saliva back-flow, that can lead to infections and/or allergies. Tweezers and other instruments exert a pressure on the tick. The shape of the tick remover, designed by a veterinarian, takes into account the tick's morphology. Tick's mouth-parts are covered with backward directed projections; this allows the tick to anchor in the skin. By pulling up on the tick, the spikes will rise and lock the mouth-parts into the skin. The tick may break and leave parts in the skin causing infection. By twisting motion, the spikes fold into the axis of rotation, and the tick is easily removed, without traction, decreasing the risks of breaking the rostrum. Tick Twister hook removes ticks by rotation and not by pulling; among all instruments supposed to use rotation, it is the easiest to use because of its shape and its size. Tick Twister tick remover allows the user to hold the tick without compressing it and to remove the tick by twisting motion rather than pulling. This technique is the best and safest way to remove ticks completely.
