ABSTRACT:
A tool for removing anchored ticks from the skin of an animal or a human. The tick removal tool includes an elongated member having a longitudinal axis, a lateral axis, a forward edge and a handle end. A tapered slot is formed within the elongated member. The tapered slot is located along the longitudinal axis and diverges towards and merges with the forward edge. The tool is manipulated so that the mouth parts and head of the tick that are embedded in the skin of the animal or human are positioned and secured within the tapered slot. The now secured tick may be easily removed by movement of the tool.
