O'Tom Tick Hook to remove all ticks, big and small, completely, both on animals and people. Slide the Tick twister around the tick and remove it with a twisting pulling motion. The odds that a part of the tick remains on the body is very small. It is not advised to treat the tick with a disinfectant beforehand, because this activates the tick to release any disease agents. Tick infections are rare in The Netherlands, but when in doubt, always consult your vet or GP.
