The TICK-KIT
was developed from a personal need to handle ticks safely where-ever and
whenever exposure to their habitat, during real estate development
projects in the North East U.S., as well as summers on eastern
Long Island, N.Y.
After a near fatal
family experience with Rocky Mountain Spotted Fever (one of several tick
borne diseases), 50 years ago, we were raised with a strong fear of
ticks, and the importance of proper handling.
Frustrated with the
products appearing on the market (most were poor quality
"gimmicks", but all handled ticks dangerously), our TICK-KIT
was developed in the late 1980s, and after endless requests from family,
friends and word of mouth inquiries, commercially produced in 1993. -Quote from TICK TANK
