Description What is it?Tick Tox® is a new Australian device that is designed to instantaneously kill ticks by snap freezing. It kills ticks on people and pets. We have designed Tick Tox® to fit with outdoor life so it is easily carried in a pocket, purse or backpack. One can of Tick Tox® will kill more than 60 ticks. And it kills leeches too! Steps to using Tick Tox® Locate tick (or ticks). Remove cap of Tick Tox® and practice controlling duration of a squirt. Check here to see just how little Tick Tox® kills a big tick. Mask skin with the Tick Tox® “bookmask” and warn the tick’s victim that it may sting! Aim nozzle at the tick taking great care to not touch the tick. Spray Tick Tox® for short as possible – less than 1 second is plenty – do not over-use. Tick is now dead. Dab (or better) spray the bite site with antiseptic. WAIT for a minimum of 10 minutes or so. During this time the jaws release –NOTE : the Australian paralysis tick Ixodes holocyclus has the longest jaws of all known tick. Sometimes these massive jaws take a long time to release. Be patient and NEVER squeeze the tick with blunt tweezers – even when it has been snap frozen and killed with Tick Tox. Brush dead tick away. Dab some more antiseptic on the bite site. See a doctor if any disturbing symptoms occur in next few days – for example appearance of a ring around the bite site.
