When a Tick Won’t Come off, Try This Incredible Tool!

tick-removal

Encountering a tick is an inevitable reality if you hang out in the great outdoors in all but the cooler areas in North America.

Even then, in recent years, finding ticks have become more familiar and their “season” seems to have started a lot earlier than it used to.

Suffering from a bite from a tick is annoying and scary, but it also can lead to graver consequences.

Ticks are actually ectoparasites and arachnids, which translates to them being parasites that feed on their host. They feed on a host externally as opposed to tapeworms, for example, that feed on their host internally.

These annoying bugs can carry a host of pathogens, including viruses, protozoa, bacteria, and more. And depending on where you live the diseases a tick carries can vary.

Worse, if you do experience a tick bite the bite region can become infected from leftover tick parts.

This is why it's important to remove it from your person as soon as you can and if you do get bit by one it's vital to remove it carefully. The next page will show you how to remove a tick using an ingenious tool because some ticks have a hard time separating themselves from your skin — ick!

    Or just buy these two sized tick-screws for a few bucks. Works perfect and is field tested approx. 60 times this year (2 dogs).

    Sorry, I am tired of always going to the next page, and the next. Take the ads off the first page, then you have room for the story and noone has to keep clicking page after page to read it.

    Don’t try an burn them out, that is dangerous. My scout master said to just pinch the skin around their head and lift it up, if they can’t get blood they’ll pop out on their own.

    Never knew that. I guess the best trick is to learn to catch them early enough to remove easily

    During the summer I ussually get alot of deer ticks on me but they are very small and hard to see. So what i do is get a bottle of rubbing alcohol and scrub myself down with it, wait a few minutes and then take a shower they fall right off.

    Easiest trick: sprinkle flea and tick powder that you use on dogs right on the tick. It will pull itself out.

    Just put liquid soap on a cotton ball then put on tick. Leave for a few minutes then the tick will back out and get tangled in cotton ball.
