After tick attachment, the paralysis tick (Ixodes holocyclus) secretes a neurotoxin in their saliva that progressively paralyses pets after 2-3 days if it's not removed. Paralysis ticks can be deadly if not detected.
The mouth of a paralysis tick possesses barbs that can make safe (and complete) removal incredibly difficult. The Tick Stick makes the process stress-free.
Please still consult with your vet after the removal of the tick. Another tick may be present and signs may worsen in the 24 hours after removal. Treatment is often still required.
If you live in a tick prone area, please use regular tick prevention.
