If you live in an area with heavy woods then you probably have a tick problem; this tick remover is safe and easy to use, and works like a charm on both dogs and people – you just slide the Tick Twister under the tick, twist, and the tick is gone, problem solved.

The specially designed notch grabs the tick at skin level and removes it completely in one motion. The best part is that the tick is rotated instead of pulled, and its body is not compressed while detaching it from the skin.

All you need to do is hold the handle between your thumb and index finger; slide the fork end of the tool toward the tick until it is caught between the prongs; lift the tool very lightly and twist in either direction several turns; you will feel when the tick has released its mouth-parts and it is safe to pull up.

The Tick Twister is available in two packs: the original comes with two hooks, one for large ticks and one for small ones, while the new Tick Twister Pro comes with one hook for medium and large ticks and a convenient hole in the handle for hanging on a keyring or cord.
