O'Tom Tick Twister chemical free dog tick removal tool with silicon-grip handle. Tick Twister is simply the best way of removing ticks from dogs (and other animals and humans too) completely and safely.

Due to the popularity of the standard Tick Twister the range has been expanded to include a new O'Tom Tick Twister with silicon-grip handle that enables you to be even more precise and safe; the grip that can not slip, and you are sure to get the tick out easily.

Tick twister is the best and safest way to remove ticks without leaving the mouthparts of the tick planted in the skin. No use of chemicals. Quick and painless tick removal without squeezing the tick, thus reducing the risk of infection and spread of diseases. This unique and ingenious tick removal tool prevents the increased risk of infection. Uses a 'slit and rotation' technique to extract the tick in less than five seconds with no compression of the tick's body or risk of leaving it's mouthparts still attached, both of which may lead to the transfer of disease such as Babesia and Lyme disease.

Sold in packs of two, each a different size, capable of removing a tick as small as one tenth of a millimetre. This tick remover hook can be used in hard-to-get-at places and on sensitive areas.

Tick Twister dog tick removal tool takes the tick away quickly and painlessly. It does not squeeze the tick, thus reducing the risk of infection. Designed by a veterinarian.

Two sizes are supplied in each pack - ultra thin for small ticks and a larger tool for large ticks. The hooks are made from recyclable injected plastic. They are hardwearing, indefinitely reusable and virtually unbreakable. They can be disinfected with usual disinfectants, or even put in the dishwasher.

The Tick Twister works with the two following principles:
1) The tick is gripped without compressing the tick's body.
2) The tick is extracted by rotation and a slight upward motion, not by pulling.

If the tick is grabbed with tweezers or similar unsuitable instruments, you may exert pressure on the tick's body. However, when the tick is grasped with the Tick Twister there is no pressure on the tick's body, thus, reducing the risk of the injection. With the Tick Twister dog tick removal tool you do not pull on the tick. Instead you rotate the tick and use a slight upward motion until the tick detaches after 2-3 rotations.

The Tick Twister is a safe, chemical free way of removing ticks from dogs. More and more studies have proved that if you use chemical products to kill the tick, it is an attack for the tick and it reacts by a saliva back flow, which increases inflammatory phenomena.

Things you should know if you get bitten by a tick

The tick must be removed correctly. Do not squeeze the tick, do not burn it, do not try to kill the tick or put it to sleep with chemical products before removing it.

You should never pull the tick. Instead, remove it with a twisting motion, without compressing it.

If you get bitten, it is essential to remove the tick properly and quickly. Ticks can carry very dangerous diseases and ticks only need a couple of hours to infect their host.
