Removing a tick

As the weather warms up (apparently), and we all spend more time outdoors, it’s important to be aware of the little hitchhikers that might like join them—ticks.

We know that these tiny creatures can cause big problems if not handled properly, so we want to share some crucial information about tick removal and why it’s essential for the health and safety of your family.

Unless removed correctly, the mouthpiece of the tick can be left imbedded in the skin and cause an infection. Our tick removal card is really simple to use, and comes with two different sizing options for any ticks in tricky places.

1. Choose the right notch: Small notch: for tiny ticks or tricky-to-reach spots
   Big notch: for larger or engorged ticks.
2. Slide the card gently under the tick. Get as close to the skin as possible.
3. Lift the card up and forward to pull the tick out. Use a slow and steady motion. Cleal the area with soap and water.
4. Dispose of the tick carefully!
