Tick ​​Twister Tick Remover

The authentic Tick Twister Made in France

The most effective and safest way to remove ticks while minimizing the risk of contracting Lyme disease.

Never squeeze a tick!

Ticks contain extremely toxic viruses such as Lyme disease and encephalitis virus . If you squeeze the tick's body when removing it, it is like squeezing a small bulb full of viruses. This pressure will inject the viruses into your body. These viruses can cause monstrous headaches, high fevers, alogia (loss of the ability to speak), and many other complications in a minute.

Ticks are difficult to remove. They are well anchored in your skin, sometimes in hard-to-reach places like the navel, hair, bikini line, they have deeply planted their rostrum there. To avoid any infection , it is also important to completely remove this rostrum, all without compressing their body .

The right tool: Tick Twister

To easily remove ticks without compressing their body, Tick Twister is available in 3 sizes to adapt exactly to the tick that bit you. Ticks can bite you at 3 stages of their growth: larva, nymph or adult. The shape and size of the 3 Tick Twister tick removers are exactly adapted for each stage of tick development.

How to proceed?

Choose the size of Tick Twister that best suits the size of the tick you want to remove, gently slide the hook under the tick, rotate the tick remover between your fingers while pulling gently. The tick will not resist it.

Disinfect the wound , possibly with hydroalcoholic gel, check that the rostrum is completely extracted. Kill the tick by pressing it between two nails.

Continue to monitor the bite site for 3 weeks. If you notice a red halo forming with the bite as the center point, this is the first symptom of Lyme disease . In this case, it is a medical emergency . The sooner the disease is treated, the less serious it will be. Antibiotic treatment is necessary.

How to remove ticks from pets?

There is no difference, the technique is the same , the risks are the same. The observation of the formation of the red halo will be complicated by the hairiness of the animal. If you observe abnormal behavior of your animal, fatigue, dejection, fever, do not hesitate to speak to a veterinarian.

Act preventively.

The ideal is not to be bitten , and for that, the best way is to use an effective and non-toxic repellent . ICARDINE is recommended by the WHO for its 8-hour repellent effectiveness. Odorless, does not stain, it is to my knowledge the best molecule.
