I lost a stainless spring loaded,claw type tick remover and cannot find another. I have a cheapie plastic version off e-bay, but to be honest, it works just as well.All these tools should ensure you don't squeeze the contaminated blood back into the host. The old "burn the bum with a fag,and twist it off by hand" used to terrify me!!

geoff till a few weeks ago i had no idea that covering them in vaserline did exactly that, made them push the contaminated blood they have helped themselves to back into the ferret /dog , its so easily avoided by using the tick pickers & i had my eyes opened for sure
