Tick awareness should help people enjoy the outdoors more confidently, not avoid it altogether.

Pack a simple tick kit

Include a suitable removal tool, its instructions and a clean way to store it. A compact option such as VuxLore POCKET can fit within a wallet, first-aid kit or outdoor bag, while other users may prefer the grip formats of TRIO or MAX.

Combine equipment with habits

Use clothing and repellent approaches appropriate to the activity and local official guidance. Stay aware of vegetation and perform a thorough check after outdoor activity, including clothing, equipment, children and animals where relevant.
