Extension work was carried out and a commercial office and a warehouse were annexed to the family home. These photographs (or the tick itself when possible) can be sent to the Tick Surveillance Scheme (TSS) for identification and then added to their database.

Another handy tip is that once removed, place the tick into a plastic bag and freeze it immediately for approximately 4 weeks. Denis HEITZ, a practising vet working in Oyonnax (France), encountered a problem extracting ticks from his four-legged patients. There is the large for afull-grown adult tick, the small for a regular sized adult tick and the brand-new micro which can be used to remove larva and nymph. Remember however that nowadays, more and more ticks are infected, so it’s important to remove them quickly and properly.It has been reported that a nymph will begin to transfer bacteria in under 24 hours from the first latch (Institute Pasteur, 2018). The family home, which served up until now as premises for the small company became too small to accommodate the growth in sales. Also, once the animal is washed, applying medicated, preventative treatments can also act as a further aid.

Why is there sometimes a small swelling, even after removing the tick entirely with TICK TWISTER ® ? It can therefore be safely twisted in one direction (either clockwise or counter-clockwise – the tick is not screw-threaded), which allows the barbs on the tick’s proboscis to be freed from the surrounding tissue.

You must never burn, freeze, suffocate or cover a tick in any substance as this may cause the tick to regurgitate the contents of it gut into your bloodstream. The saliva can be infected, therefore it’s better to twist the tick properly than to use the old methods of removal. Once the temperature is above 4°C a tick can become active and with a warming climate, there are heightening tickborne pathogen disease risks in the UK and Europe (Loeb, 2021). If you have no tick removal tool, it is possible to use dental floss, a fine thread or a hair and tie a loop around the mouthparts of the tick and pull upwards and outwards.
