The O’TOM® tick hook was developed by a veterinarian as a tool to safely and painlessly remove ticks. The set contains two different tick hooks which can be selected depending on the size of the tick to be removed. It easily removes the complete tick including the head and mouthparts, except in a few rare cases. Slide the tick hook under the head of the tick; this does not squash the tick‘s body, thus reducing to a minimum the risk of transmitting disease or poisons while removing the tick. The tick hook also removes ticks from sensitive and difficult places on the skin simply and easily. One pack contains two tick hooks of differing sizes, for the removal of large and small ticks.
