Discover this intruder in your home? Here’s how to react

Emergency procedures in case of discovery of a tick

1. Secure extraction

• Protect your hands with protective gloves to avoid skin contact.
• Use a specialized tick remover to grasp the animal close to the skin and perform a slow, steady pull without squeezing.

2. Conservation for identification

Place the specimen in a sealed container (such as a bottle or plastic bag) if you plan to analyze it later. This precaution becomes valuable if suspicious symptoms appear.

3. Sanitation of the area

Thoroughly disinfect the area where you spotted the tick using an antiseptic product .
