Prevention of tick borne illness has always been an important topic. However, with the recent climate changes and longer seasons, it is more important than ever to be prepared to tackle ticks. Created by a veterinarian in france, the tick twister pro is known worldwide as the proven best tick removal tool on the market. No tweezers, matches, or spoon shaped devices that risk squeezing the abdomen of the tick into the patient or leaving mouth parts behind. How do I remove a tick? Your main aims are to remove the tick promptly, to remove all parts of the tick's body and to prevent it releasing additional saliva or regurgitating its stomach contents into your bite wound. DO start by cleansing the tweezers/tool with antiseptic. After tick removal, cleanse the bite site and the tool with antiseptic. DO wash hands thoroughly afterwards. DO save the tick in a container in case a doctor asks for evidence that you have been bitten (label it with dateand location). DO NOT squeeze the body of the tick, as this may cause the head and body to separate, leaving the head embedded in your skin. DO NOT use your fingernails to remove a tick. Infection can enter via any breaks in your skin, e.g. close to the fingernail. DO NOT crush the tick's body, as this may cause it to regurgitate its infected stomach contents into the bite wound. DO NOT try to burn the tick off, apply petroleum jelly, nail polish or any other chemical. Any of these methods can cause discomfort to the tick, resulting in regurgitation, or saliva release.
