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.
