Hazards and Cautions
TICK TWEEZERS INTENDED USE AND INDICATION FOR USE Squeezing, twisting or in any way stressing a tick greatly increases the risk of it injecting harmful agents into the bloodstream of its host. The simple to use Tick Tweezers enable ticks to be removed safely, quickly and without force. INSTRUCTIONS FOR USE 1. Grasp the tick firmly with tweezers where the tick’s mouth meets the skin. 2. Slowly and steadily pull the tick upwards with gentle and even pressure. 3. Allow the tick to let go and carefully lift away from the skin. IMPORTANT! • Remove ticks as soon as possible. • Do not squeeze, twist or burn a tick. • Do not use petroleum jelly, oil or any other chemical products to remove ticks. • Stressing a tick greatly increases the risk of it injecting harmful agents into the bloodstream of its host. TICK-BORNE DISEASE A small red itchy patch is a normal body-reaction to a tick bite but symptoms can be much more severe. Serious tick-borne diseases include Lyme disease (Lyme borreliosis) which is increasingly common throughout Europe and America. SYMPTOMS Symptom patterns vary from person to person. Early indications in the days after the bite can include flu-like symptoms, extreme tiredness, headache, muscle pain, tender glands and sensitivity to temperature, sound and light. In some cases you may see a roughly circular red rash, without itching or pain, that slowly spreads outwards. It may be clear in the middle and is often called a bull’s eye rash. Seek medical advice promptly if you are concerned or experience any of the above symptoms after a bite.
