Tick Twister is a harmless and trouble-free way to eradicate ticks in a few seconds without leaving the mouthparts of ticks planted in the skin of dogs. It does not contain any chemicals and it does not squeeze the tick hence, there is low risk of infection.
How It Works?
The tick’s head is covered with backwards-pointing spikes that allow the tick to “anchor” in the skin of the dog. By pulling up on the tick, the spikes will rise and lock the rostrum in the skin. The tick may break leaving body parts resting in the skin and causing a painful inflammation, or an infection. By twisting, the spikes bend into the axis of rotation, and the tick is easily removed, without traction, decreasing the risks of breaking the rostrum. While removing a tick, it is essential not to compress it, reducing the risk of saliva back-flow as a tick’s saliva contains irritating substances and sometimes microorganisms that can lead to infections and/or allergies. Thus, tick twister exerts pressure on the tick and removes them from the body of the dog.
