• Removes ticks of any size

The O'Tom Tick Remover has been specially designed with a "twisting" motion for the most safest and effective way to remove ticks completely. The tick's rostrum (the part that is embedded in the skin and improperly referred to as "the tick's head") is covered with backward pointing spikes that allow the tick to "anchor" in the skin. By pulling up on the tick, the spikes will rise and lock the rostrum in the skin. The tick may break leaving body parts resting in the skin and causing a painful inflammation, or an infection. By twisting, the spikes bend into the axis of rotation, and the tick is easily removed, without traction, decreasing the risks of breaking the rostrum.

Features:

• Doesn't leave the tick's rostrum in the skin - Minimising the risk of infection
• Doesn't squeeze the tick's abdomen - Squeezing the abdomen can release saliva into the blood stream increasing the risk of infection
• Removes ticks of any size - Effective use on animals and people
• Doesn't need any chemical products (alcohol, ether, etc) - Enables a quick and painless tick removal
