Tick Remover This tweezer gently grasps and twists to remove ticks without leaving mouthparts behind, in case you get bitten by a tick in the mountains or elsewhere. Can be used on humans, dogs, and cats. Leaving a tick attached can lead to diseases like Japanese spotted fever. Consider this as a precautionary item for bushwhacking and hiking. Shipped via Yu-Packet Post Mini, which is faster than standard mail.
