Abstract
Improved apparatus is disclosed for removing embedded ticks. The apparatus includes a pair of locking tongs which are especially designed for grasping an embedded tick at the skin line. Thereafter, the grasped tick is removed by means of a rotary or twisting movement. The disclosure is also concerned with a novel method whereby embedded ticks may be removed safely and intact. The method preferably employs the disclosed apparatus.
