Intro

A tiny, wallet-friendly 3D-printed tool that helps you remove ticks quickly and safely — without squeezing them and increasing the risk of infection. This compact design acts like tiny tweezers to grip ticks close to the skin and extract them cleanly, making it a practical everyday carry for hikers, pet owners, and outdoor enthusiasts. 

Ticks can spread serious diseases such as Lyme disease and tick-borne encephalitis, so prompt and proper removal is essential.

Usage:

1. Slide the tool’s small opening under the tick near the skin.

2. Gently lift upwards to extract the tick without squeezing its body.

3. Disinfect the bite area after removal and dispose of the tick safely. (Experts recommend removing ticks without squeezing or twisting to minimize risk of infection.)
