Tick removers
thingiverse
Simple tick removal tools. Slide tool over tick mouth, and pull with steady pressure. Can squeeze remover end to help grasp mouth parts to remove tick and mouth parts together (previous version could leave mouth parts embedded in skin). Doesn't squeeze the tick like tweezers or pliers can, so it decreases the risk of tick-borne diseases. 8-1-17: minor modifications to make more versatile. 5-6-18: opened tick remover end on straight tool, and modified to create "built-in tweezers" to allow squeezing of mouth parts during removal. 6-1-18: further refinements in designs to make them easier to use on a wider variety of sizes of ticks 10-5-19: modified to remove stray piece of remaining plastic when printing the O of "out" - previous versions printed the center of the O, wasting filament.
