Now here’s a thing…

Thing being today’s word.
Whilst on holiday I had a tick on the back of my leg. A dear friend gave me this as a gift in case it should happen again. I was told not to use this on my Grandfather clock as it is for Ticks not for Tocks!!

Handy thing to keep around, ticks can be awful

Never seen one of these - great to have in case of emergency!

[KV]

Interesting device.

[Esther Rosenberg]

Yikes, ticks....never seen a kit like this.

[Sally Ings]

Now that's an interesting piece of kit. Most dog owners living in areas where ticks are prevalent would love to have something like this.

[Nina Ganci]

wow! you learn something every day

[Mags]

Pretty cool looking contraption and nice gift.

[JackieR]

He is soooooooooooo chuffed this made it to 365!!

[Cazzi]

I didn't know such a 'thing' existed. Hopefully you won't need to use it.

[Carole Sandford]

As above, I didn’t know there was such a thing!

[summerfield]

i thought there's only a special tweezer to remove the tick. i hope that wasn't the nasty tick that causes lime disease in people. be careful out there.

[Susan Wakely]

@summerfield I didn’t realise what it was until I pull it off. I still have a mark where it got me but no I’ll effects.

@carole_sandford @serendypyty @marlboromaam @ninaganci @salza @dutchothotmailcom @kvphoto @linnypinny @swchappell I thought that there was a tweezer type gadget for animals but never seen one like this.

[Susan Wakely]

@30pics4jackiesdiamond and I am genuinely thrilled with my gift. Let’s hope that I don’t need it.

These are very effective, have owned one for many years. After one of her camping trips I used it to remove three (!) ticks from daughter

[Babs]

Never seen anything like this before. David used to get a lot of ticks when he went out with the bird watching group. We have a lot of them here and some can cause quite nasty side effects. Good to hear you didn't have any problems.

[bruni]

Would be handy to have. does it really work.

[Kathy]

We used to paint them with nail polish to "smother" them.

[Shutterbug]

Very interesting “thing”. I hope you never have to use it.

[Lis Lapthorn]

Excellent, thoughtful gift. My husband says butter is good for removing ticks.
