hundreds of people don’t even realize they were bitten by a
deer tick…until it’s too late and they become very ill. The
Tick Tactic® tick identification and removal kit is a unique
new solution that can help people protect themselves, their
family members and their pets from being stricken with this
serious disease.
Cleverly packaged in a three-inch metal "mints-style" tin,
Tick Tactic® offers a complete source of tips and tools to
identify tick bites and remove them correctly. It includes a
"How To" booklet, deer tick identification guidelines,
tweezers, alcohol disinfectant, magnifier, bag for tick
disposal or sending to a testing facility, pencil, a symptom
record and resources for learning about Lyme disease. Using
tweezers is the only known way to successfully remove ticks.
Tick Tactic® is the first in a line of Lyme Alert Lyme
disease education and support products created by two Lyme
disease survivors, Mo Babicki and Jane Honeck, both from
Maine. "We developed Tick Tactic® to help prevent more
people from suffering the way I have," said Ms. Babicki. "We
must create more awareness about this debilitating, painful
disease spreading across the United States and throughout
the world. We must help people take measures to stop ticks
from infecting them…or someone they love."

Lyme disease can cause rashes, extreme fatigue,
headaches, heart conditions, and neurological impairments.
If Lyme disease is detected early, treatment can ease
suffering and the costs of diagnosis, treatment and
ultimately human capital can be diminished.
Tick Tactic® is manufactured in Richmond, Maine and is
offered at the suggested retail price of $5.99. It is small
enough to keep on hand anywhere, including the home medicine
cabinet, kids’ backpacks, glove compartments,
purses, golf bags, camping equipment, and just about
anywhere else.
Tick Tactic® can be found in convenience stores throughout
New England and New York, and it’s also available online for
immediate shipping. Visit
