Prevent Lyme diseases – innovative tick solution!

Global emerging problem and new preventive solutions against tick-borne diseases from ICB Pharma- KICK THE TICK® expert.

Ticks are currently considered to be just as dangerous as mosquitoes in regards of transmitting the human infectious diseases in the world. They have caused significant public health problem worldwide, as they are carriers of numerous pathogenic germs leading to viral, bacterial and protozoan infectious diseases among humans and animals.

There are at least 19 tick-borne diseases discovered. They include serious, life-threatening infections, if left untreated. Among them, the most common one is Lyme Disease. The number of cases reported annually has increased nearly by 25-fold (with estimated 34 cases per hour in US alone).

The tick’s bite is usually painless, so the prompt and careful inspection and fast removal of crawling or attached ticks is an important method of prevention against the tick-borne diseases. After biting, a tick can immediately transmit the pathogenic microorganism to the host, but an early tick removal reduces the risk of the infection. Latest ICB Pharma development - KICK THE TICK® expert drastically reduces the occurrence of tick-borne diseases. This is new and innovative approach to the prevention against Lyme disease and other tick- borne diseases.

KICK THE TICK® expert immediate freezes the tick, which leads to the inhibition of metabolic processes and prevents transmission of the tick-borne pathogens to the host. Additionally, APRF Technology TM (Anti-Parasite Removal Film) used in KICK THE TICK® leads to the precise coverage of the tick’s body with the film-like layer. This effect protects against the tick being torn which reduces the risk of transferring the infectious agents during the treatment.
