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.

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.

O'Tom Tick Twister The O'Tom Tick Twister is a quick and easy way to remove ticks from both people and animals, regardless of their size or location. To use, simply slide the O'Tom Tick Twister hook between the tick and the skin and twist it round and round until the tick comes off. It's this twisting action that is the key to the successful removal of the tick - if you just pull it off the mouth parts dig in, but if you twist it they 'go with the flow' and spiral out. Each pack contains two O'Tom Tick Twisters - a large one for adult-sized ticks and a smaller one for larvae and nymph ticks. Click here to go to a YouTube video demonstrating the product...

O'Tom Tick Twister - with Silicone Grip The O'Tom Tick Twister with Silicone Grip is the same as the standard O'Tom Tick Twister but with the addition of a Silicone Grip on the handle. This makes it easier to handle and manoeuvre - particularly so for big fingers and clumsy hands because they can be a little bit fiddly. To use, simply slide the O'Tom Tick Twister hook between the tick and the skin and twist it round and round until the tick comes off. It's this twisting action that is the key to the successful removal of the tick - if you just pull it off the mouth parts dig in, but if you twist it they 'go with the flow' and spiral out.

Instructions for Use: 1) Slid the notch of the Tick Card under the tick. 2) Gently push the card forward and upward with steady even pressure. 3) Allow the tick to let go and be pulled out of the skin easily and effortlessly.

Care Plus Tick Test Kit The Care Plus Tick Test Kit is a revolutionary new product that enables you to test a tick that has bitten you for the presence of the Borrelia bacteria that causes Lyme disease. The tick must be removed from your body first using a tick removing tool but it is only the tick that is tested - there is no need for you to provide a blood sample. To use, the tick is mashed up in the test tube provided with a small amount of liquid and then 2 or 3 drops should be applied to the test cassette with the pipette provided. The test cassette works in much the same way as a home pregnancy test kit - a red line will appear in the window if the test is positive. (The Care Plus Tick Test is an immunochromatographic test and serves as direct proof of Borrelia antigens in the tick. When the test material is added to the test cassette it flows over the test lines through capillary action and if there are any Borrelia antigens present they interact with the immobilized reagents and a red line appears, indicating a positive result. If the test material doesn't contain any Borrelia then the Borrelia-antigens-antibody complex isn't created and the red line doesn't appear, indicating a negative result. For the test to be valid a coloured stripe should always appear in the control area to confirm that the material has spread thoughout the test area by capillary action.) The Care Plus Tick Test Kit can be used to test several ticks at the same time if they are all mashed up together but the test cassette can only be used once. (Note - if a positive result is obtained for the presence of the Borrelia bacteria in a tick this does not necessarily mean that the infection will automatically have passed on to the person bitten. However, it is a very good indication that medical consultation should be sought as soon as possible. Early diagnosis and treatment for Lyme disease can be key in preventing some of the most dangerous and long lasting symptoms.) Click here to go to a YouTube video demonstrating the product...
