Ticks are bloodthirsty parasites that feed on a wide variety of mammals, including dogs and humans. Their bite is not dangerous, but they are known to carry pathogens, virii, bacteria, and diseases including Lyme disease, Rocky Mountain spotted fever and tularemia..
Because tick bites are painless, they may not be noticed until after the tick is attached. It's important to remove the tick as soon as possible after it is discovered. Studies in animals and humans have shown that the risk of Lyme disease transmission increases significantly after the tick has been attached for 24 hours, and is even higher after more than 48 hours.
This mechanical tick remover gets rid of ticks completely, safely, easily, and without touching the tick. It's the perfect tool for anyone who spends time outdoors - and effective on both humans and pets.
