An attached tick should be removed promptly using an appropriate method. NHS guidance advises using fine-tipped tweezers or a tick-removal tool, grasping close to the skin and pulling upwards carefully without squeezing or crushing the tick.

Prepare before a tick is found

Read the instructions for the tool you keep. The VuxLore Tick Remover Range includes POCKET, TRIO and MAX formats for different carrying and grip preferences.

Use official guidance

Read the NHS Lyme disease and tick-removal guidance. Seek appropriate medical or veterinary help when removal is difficult, symptoms develop or there is another cause for concern. This article is general awareness information, not medical advice.
