After bite treatment falls into three main categories: - medical devices for removing any poison that has has been injected, such as Ben's Insect Poison Extractor and the Aspivenin - medications that are active against whatever has been injected during the bite or sting, such as the ammonia in After Bite - creams and lotions that help ease the symptoms and relieve itching, etc, such as Ben's bite-ezer Cream Generally, the well prepared traveller will go equipped with all three, and their timely application would help to ensure that the occasional bite or sting doesn't become something far more serious or debilitating.

Trix Tick Lasso - Tick Remover Ticks are spider-like insects that attach themselves with their mouth parts to the skin of a host and then feed themselves with its blood. Not very pleasant, and finding them firmly attached to you can be quite upsetting, particularly if you're not quite sure how to deal with them! They have become increasingly common in Northern Europe, and to make matters even worse a tick bite could lead to infection with Lyme's disease if the tick isn't carefully removed within 24 hours. The Trix Tick Lasso tick remover makes removal quick and easy - simply extend the lasso, place it over the tick, let go of the button and then twist and lift away to remove the tick. Suitable for use with children and pets, and the length of the device makes it easy to use in ears, thick fur or hair and other difficult places. Click here to find out more....

Care Plus Tick Out - Tick Tweezers The Care Plus Tick Out Tick Tweezers are similar to the Trix Tick Lasso, although the tick is removed in a slightly different way. Instead of a lasso the Tick Out Tick Tweezers utilise a set of pincers. The pincer jaws are opened by pressing a button on the end of the device, and then closed by releasing the button after placing the base of the tick within the mouth of the jaws. The jaws are shaped to grip the tick tightly, allowing it to be removed with minimal risk of damage to the tick. The Care Plus Tick Out Tick Tweezers are supplied with full instructions for use and two alcohol swabs for disinfecting the site of the bite after the tick has been removed. Price: £4.95 Quantity:
