Tick kit

[Toddy]

Y'know what we need to pester someone to design/produce ?
A keyring version of the o'tom twister thing in titanium .....it's probably end up too damned sharp though and just shred skin and slice up the buggit
It's usually tiny wee things that HWMBLT picks up too. The thought is that the lasso thing wouldn't work on them

I used to pick ticks off my tom cat, but the tabby never seemed to have any. I know that anyone else trying to de-tick Tom would have gotten totally shredded; I don't think I'm brave enough to try taking one off a ferret

Great idea, how about keeping it in a Go-tube? You can get them in different lengths IIRC. These ones have button compass on as well.

(this is from tumblr so hopefully doesn't count as a hot link, Mods please let me know if I've booboo'd)

I don't think my keyring would take another of those wee safe things, tbh ....and the otom tool is too long for most of them as well.

cheers,

Yeah, well, those Gotubes were originally designed to keep emergency stuff in so you could put one where it wouldn't be found if searched. Probably easier on the keyring though. Teehee. You can get them in different lengths but I hear your pain about the keyring... mine's almost got the kitchen sink on it.

Hmmm....the O'tom Twister does look rather good. Better safe than sorry, eh?

Have started a group buy of both the tick card and the otom tick twister. You can find the [thread=123078]thread here[/thread].

Thanks

I saw this the other day - It's a tick test kit that shows you if the tick is infected:

I've never heard of these before and don't know how effective they are, but I thought it interesting.
