ABSTRACT:
A device is provided for removing ticks which are anchored in the skin of animals or humans. The tick removing device includes an elongated body and a tick engaging portion extending integrally from one end of the elongated body. The tick engaging portion includes a pair of legs which are flat and curved in a hook like manner towards the opposite end of the elongated body. The legs define a tick engaging slot suited for snug fitting around the neck portion of the tick. The tick engaging slot is sized such that it is of generally smaller dimensions than the body of a tick so as to permit removal of the tick.
