Kit and Method for Removing Tick from a Mammal

A kit for removing an imbedded tick from epidermal tissue of a mammal comprising:

• a container configured to receive a liquid, wherein the container has a body and a neck collectively defining an interior of the container for receiving the liquid, wherein the body has a bottom arranged for resting on a support surface, wherein the neck has a rim delimiting an opening for transferring the liquid between the interior of the container and an exterior thereof, wherein the container further includes a cap configured to be removably received on the neck to selectively close the opening to resist transfer of the liquid from the interior to the exterior;
• wherein the rim is arranged to be sized to surround the tick;
• a prescribed volume of liquid disinfectant received in the container, wherein the liquid disinfectant is adapted to sanitize the epidermal tissue and the tick;
• wherein the prescribed volume of liquid disinfectant is less than a volume of the interior of the container so as to provide an air gap between the rim of the container and a top surface of the liquid disinfectant in the container, such that the liquid disinfectant can flow to fill the neck upon tilting the container.
