"Ball Point Pen" Tick Remover
Getting rid of ticks is easy with this new tick removal tool. Best of all, you don't even have to touch them. Made in Sweden, the Trix tick remover looks like a ball point pen. It has a button on top and a lasso device - a small carbon filament - at the bottom that grabs the tick.
To remove a tick, you push the button down to extend the loop and slide it over the tick. Removing your finger from the button causes the loop to retract. You then raise the remover a little to "snare" the tick and give the tool a quick twist.
Removing the tick with a twisting motion instead of a pulling motion makes the removal virtually painless and reduces the risk of leaving the head under the skin.
Sells for $9.95 plus S&H.
