The Pro-Tick Remedy has been a favorite of professionals and outdoor enthusiasts since its introduction in 1993. Besides its simplicity of use, it has many advantages over any other device on the market and has proven itself during extensive testing at Ohio State University. In initial tests, the Pro-Tick Remedy successfully removed more than 50 American Dog Ticks and was cited in the research as having removed all test ticks intact and without damage. It's also worth noting that the ticks removed by Pro-Tick Remedy had the most cement attached. Cement is a latex like adhesive that the tick uses to secure itself at the feeding site. If left in, the cement can be a point of irritation until the cement is absorbed by the body. A hard lump can be felt where a tick was removed, but the cement did not come out intact. Cement that does remain should not be cause for alarm, since there are no reports of health issues with this substance, just discomfort. This test included the Pro-Tick Remedy, two other tick removal tools and tweezers. The Pro-Tick Remedy was the resounding winner. The improved model now has a 5X magnifier, excellent instructions and information on protecting yourself from tick bites and, in the opinion of many experts, the best multi-species tick ID card available anywhere.
