The Key To Tick Removal! #diy #tools #tickseason

All right, Donna. Why do I need one of these? >> Because you don't want to get sick. When you are pinching, poking, twisting, suffocating, burning, prodding a tick, you begin to traumatize the tick. And when the tick is traumatized, they're going to fight back. They're going to regurgitate their stomach contents back into the host. And if they have disease, they're going to transmit it with that regurgitation. >> So, show me how this works. >> So, you're going to take this key. You're going to put it flush over the tick. Give it a pull flush against the skin. You're going to remove it head and all. Clean it with a little bit of alcohol. It's ready for its next use. And remember to keep it on your key ring or your lanyard so you don't lose it.
