ABSTRACT:
A device for removing a tick attached to a host, such device having a tweezer with first and second tweezer arms disposed on a slide member movable within an outer casing, such tweezer arms movable within first and second channels defined on the inside of the outer casing with the front tips of the tweezer arms extendible and retractable through an opening in the front of the outer casing, with the channels tapering inwardly to compress and force the tips of the tweezer arms together as they pass through the opening to grasp a tick. A power source is provided in the rear of the slide member which can be a battery disposed within a chamber in the slide member and interconnected through a manually controlled switch to a heat member. An electrical circuit is completed by manually activating the switch when the tweezer arms are in their forward advanced position extending out the opening of the casing to provide heat to a heating member tip adjacent to the tweezer arms and the tick grasped therebetween to cause the tick to release its grip. The tick is then pulled away from the host with the tweezer arms.
