Summary This is an experimental device to remove ticks. Put tick through the big hole - flat side against your skin. Pull along skin while pressing down to force the tick down the channel. Make sure you get the 'blades' under the head. Fortunately, we are at the end of tick season here... I make no warranties that this will actually do anything useful or keep ticks from vomiting disease into your bloodstream. If you do happen to get a tick, print it out, give it a try before you reach for the tweezers and let me know how it went. Thanks!
