The moment you find a tick on a person or animal, the UST Tick Wrangler will facilitate removal and identification of the offending insect. For this purpose, a sharp, tapered loop provides an implement for removal that slides flush against the skin and pulls ticks from embedment whole. When ticks are removed with tweezers, fingers, fire, or chemicals, this causes the tick to inject a large amount of dangerous and potentially deadly material into the wound. But with the tick wrangler, the tick is removed without leaving parts embedded. After removal, measure the tick with the integrated ruler to determine the type of tick and whether it is likely to carry Lyme or other diseases. Clip the tick wrangler to your backpack to bring it on expeditions outdoors or to put it on a hook in your home.
