The 3iX Tick Lasso is the optimal tool for removing ticks from humans and animals, ensuring gentle, quick and painless tick removal.
Werner Johansson has been researching ticks since 2002. Unlike most tick removers, the 3iX Tick Lasso removes the parasite without squeezing and great stress. This reduces the risk of disease transmission.
Remove ticks correctly
Please follow the instructions in the leaflet attached with the product.
If you have discovered a tick on your body, remove it quickly and completely without squeezing or stressing the bloodsucker! Unnecessary force, such as pulling, wiggling, levering, dripping or spraying with chemical substances, puts the tick under stress and increases the risk of disease transmission. As there are barbs on the biting apparatus of the tick, it is recommended only twisting, which makes them easier to loosen. The removal device should be usable all over the body, i.e. also in hard-to-reach places such as hair, belly button, groin, etc. Even the smallest ticks can be easily removed with the 3iX Tick Lasso.
Due to the risk of injury, please do not use knives or pointed tweezers - especially around the eyes. The 3iX Tick Lasso from Sweden is best suited for gentle removal. It fulfils all criteria and ensures quick and painless removal, which is especially important for small children and small animals.
- Push out the lasso and place it around the tick.
- Then gently press the round top into the skin as close to the tick as possible. Release the button and point the pin upwards, keeping the top pressed into the skin.
- Turn the pin between your fingers, (one full turn), in any direction. The tick is now loosened. Disinfect the bite site.
To kill the tick, the tip of the Tick Lasso can then be lightly tapped against a hard object (hold the button while doing this).
Always have a suitable tick remover with you, as well as a small container and a small sealable plastic bag. The sooner the tick is removed, the better. Every minute counts! As a rule, a tick releases the pathogens when its abdomen slowly becomes full, or it is stressed by an incorrect and slow removal, such as when being pulled. Watch out: Nymphs (ticks directly after the larval stage) are often more dangerous than adults (fully grown ticks), as the abdomen fills up faster and pathogens are thus transmitted more quickly! Always pick up the tick after removal, see "The tick test").
Why twist? Because the tick has barbs on the suction tube, the tick should be twisted out. The tick comes off faster and better than when pulling. This is especially useful for small children and animals.
