To calculate the overall star rating and percentage breakdown by star, we don’t use a simple average.

The O'TOM Tick Twister is the easiest, quickest, most effective and least dangerous method of removing any kind of tick, whether it is large or small, regardless of where it is on your pet, and regardless of whether it is on your cat, dog, or horse, Quick, simple, pain free and reusable, the O'TOM Tick Twister allows you to remove the tick with its head attached, thereby avoiding the risk of infection, and without squeezing the tick's abdomen, which reduces the risk of transmitting tick-borne diseases.If you don’t want to keep the tick, the best way to dispose of it is to place it in a tissue and squash it. The rostrum of the tick (the portion that is implanted in the skin, often wrongly referred to as the head) is covered with small barbs which ensure that the tick remains embedded. Each pack contains two Tick Twister® tick removers, one for adult ticks and one for tiny nymph ticks.

As a result the rostrum can split, and part of it may remain in the skin; this can cause a painful inflammation or infection. This polymer plastic was chosen because it is recyclable, can be incinerated without pollution (no chlorine fumes during combustion) and for its solidity and resistance to ether and most solvents.I have seen pictures of other kinds of ticks, and I don't know how easy they would be to remove; but they would probably be just as easy.
