Holding the handle between thumb and forefinger genly turn 2 or 3 times. As you feel the tick release its mouthparts, gently lift up.
Aftercare:
Cleanse the wound with antiseptic.
Wash your hands.
Should a rash or flu-like symptoms develop see your GP.
Retain the tick in a sealed container for testing if needed.
Do Not:
Never try to burn a tick off or twist it with tweezers as this can increase the risk of infection.
