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

Suitable for:

All animals and humans

Approximate Dimensions (Product):

One Size: H9.5 x W1 x D1cm

Product code: 7123631

O'Tom is the go-to brand when it comes to removing the common Tick - a nasty spider-like parasite which feeds on the blood of people and all kinds of animals. Ticks can also spread a bacterial infection known as Lyme disease hence why it's important to take immediate action to remove if in contact.

Product Care:

Tick removers can be washed in hot soapy water or cold sterilised.

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.
