FAQ's
why can I not use the same nix-tix instrument on more than one person or pet?
DO NOT share nix-tix.
nix-tix removes a small piece of skin when extracting a tick and therefore can carry blood and tissue inside its scoop tips.
This blood and tissue can carry germs and infection that can be transmitted to another individual.
Can anyone use nix-tix?
Yes anyone can use nix-tix, although users will become better at using nix-tix with practice.
Does it hurt?
Yes there is some pain or discomfort in removing a firmly attached tick with any device, including nix-tix.
Does hairy skin affect how well nix-tix performs in removing the whole tick?
No, hair can be parted gently before using nix-tix to extract the tick.
Why nix-tix?
• nix-tix has been developed to remove the whole tick from its target food-source. This is a critical point of differentiation to the other tick removal products available today, including keys and forceps.
• Looking closer at the anatomy of a tick's mouth parts - you can see how the tick attaches itself and secures itself for a long feeing cycle.
• Understanding this, it becomes clear why it is so easy to tear off the tick's body and leave mouth parts behind with any device that tries to pull out a firmly anchored and embedded tick.
• nix-tix removes the entire tick along with a small piece of skin, ensuring no mouth parts are left behind.
