The Original TICKED OFF is a one-piece plastic spoon with a V-shaped notch and retaining bowl. Its instructions say to isolate the tick, place the wide notch flat on the skin, apply slight downward pressure, and use one continuous forward slide without prying, levering, or lifting; the bowl retains the removed tick. The official brand warns about counterfeit and unauthorized copies, so purchase source matters more here than for most simple tools.
