ABSTRACT:
A tick removing device includes an upwardly angled fixed front end section with a V-shaped notch opening to the front with two blunt points. A bottom surface of the front end is slid along the skin of the host toward the embedded tick with a slight pressure sliding the opening of the V-shaped notch past the tick until the narrowing edges of the V-shaped notch contact the tick's body lifting the tick away from the flesh. The device includes a cup or a sticky patch to catch the removed tick.
