NEVER use home remedies for the removal of ticks, such as Cigarettes, Vaseline, nail polish, alcohol, and etc. These remedies will only disturb the tick while it's feeding, And cause the tick to spit back its infections diseases, into its Host.
Tic-off, when used as directed, will immobilize the tick instantly, and prevent the transmission of any on-board Diseases. Tick borne illnesses are caused by infection with a variety of pathogens including bacteria, viruses and protozoa.
Major tick-borne diseases include:
- Virus: Colorado tick fever, Tick-borne meningoencephalitis, and Crimean-Congo hemorrhagic fever
- Bacteria: Lyme disease, Rocky Mountain Spotted Fever, Ehrlichiosis anaplasmosis, Relapsing fever, Tularemia
- Protozoa: Babesiosis, Cytauxzoonosis
Why use TIC-OFF? Tic-Off helps prevent the spread of infectious disease which may occur upon the removal of the tick from its host. Conventional methods of tick removal may get the tick out but in doing so also disturb it. If the tick is not immobilized it can "spit" the ingested fluids back into the host, possibly spreading on-board disease. Tic-Off instantly paralyzes the tick causing it to partially retract its chelicerae, minimizing the transfer of disease.
How TIC-OFF works? Direct the tip of the actuator in the direction of the ticks head/face.. The nozzle emits a metered dose of spray that will paralyze the tick instantly and cause a retraction of its chelicerae.
TIC-OFF is approved by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) as a Registered Medical Device #2,249,715. Product is also protected by the U.S. Patent #4,834,967.
