Ticks-2-Go

Use:
Grasp the tick tweezers between your thumb and middle finger, then press down on the back with your index finger to open the tweezers.
Carefully position the tweezers on the tick, as close to the skin as possible, and let them close on the tick.
Pull carefully to remove the tick vertically.
Disinfect the wound and note the date of the bite.

Advice:
Ensure that the tick is removed within 8 hours to minimise the risk of infection.
Do not anaesthetise the tick with alcohol or any other product. Do not burn it, for example with a cigarette. When a tick is anaesthetised or burned, it goes into shock and, as a reaction, regurgitates its toxins via its saliva.
