Tick removal: The sooner the tick is removed, the lower the risk of transmission of viruses and
bacteria.

Grab the Zecken-Fix tweezers by the black handle and hold them between the thumb and
middle finger. Put the index finger (of the same hand) on the annular end of the metal grip and
pull the ring towards you to push the tick grip apart.

Grab the tick with the tweezers tips as close to the skin as possible, slowly releasing the index fin-
ger. At the same time, be careful not to crush the tick body! Now slowly twist the tick
(the direction does not matter). As a result of slow twisting, including pauses, the tick can crawl out
on its own.
