Tick lasso (pen-shaped wire loop)

A pen-style tool with a retractable wire loop you cinch around the tick's head — useful when fingers can't get a clean tweezer angle.

Steps

schema.org/HowTo

01
Extend the wire loop by pressing the pen tip against the skin.
02
Slip the loop over the tick and down to skin level around the mouthparts.
03
Retract the loop slowly so the wire cinches just behind the head, not on the body.
04
Pull straight up with steady pressure — no twisting.
05
Release the tick into a sealed container, clean the bite, and wipe the loop with alcohol.
