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.

- 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
Suitable for: All animals and humans
Instructions:
- 1. Choose the most suitable hook according to the size of the tick.<br />2. Engage the hook by approaching the tick from the side until it is held.<br />3. Lift the hook very lightly and turn it. The tick detaches by itself after 2 or 3 rotations. <br /><br /> Tips to remember: Do not try to kill the tick before removing it. Do not apply any product to the tick (alcohol, ether, soap, essential oils). Never pull the tick during removal. After removing a tick, it is recommended to disinfect the bite area with an antiseptic.
Warnings and Safety: While removing a tick, it is essential not to compress it, reducing the risk of saliva back-flow. A tick's saliva contains irritating substances and sometimes microorganisms that can lead to infections and/or allergies.
Product Care: Tick removers can be washed in hot soapy water or cold sterilised.
