Tick Tox Spray 40g

Tick Tox®  is a new Australian device that is designed to instantaneously kill ticks by snap freezing. It kills ticks on people and pets. We have designed Tick Tox® to fit with outdoor life so it is easily carried in a pocket, purse or backpack. One can of Tick Tox® will kill more than 40 ticks.  And it kills leeches too!

Tick Tox® is really easy to use:

• Spray: Mask skin with the Tick Tox® bookmask. Put the nozzle close to the tick and press the button for 1 second or less.
• Freeze: The temperature of the spray is well below freezing.
• Tick Dies: The tick is instantly frozen and dies.

Steps to using Tick Tox®:

• Locate tick (or ticks).
• Remove cap of Tick Tox® and practice controlling duration of a squirt.  Check here to see just how little Tick Tox® kills a big tick.
• Mask skin with the Tick Tox® “bookmask” and warn the tick’s victim that it may sting!
• Aim nozzle at the tick taking great care to not touch the tick.
• Spray Tick Tox® for short as possible – less than 1 second is plenty – do not over-use.
• Tick is now dead. Dab (or better) spray the bite site with antiseptic.
• WAIT for  a minimum of 10 minutes or so. During this time the jaws release –NOTE : the Australian paralysis tick Ixodes holocyclus has the longest jaws of all known tick. Sometimes these massive jaws take a long time to release. Be patient and NEVER squeeze the tick with blunt tweezers – even when it has been snap frozen and killed with Tick Tox.
• Brush dead tick away.
• Dab some more antiseptic on the bite site.
• See a doctor if any disturbing symptoms occur in next few days – for example appearance of a ring around the bite site.

• Be aware that overuse or direct application of Tick Tox spray to the skin can cause a burn.This can be avoided by using the bookmask and carefully following the instructions. A burn presents as a swollen red area and the development of a blister.  If a burn does occur seek medical advice.
