Press Release Summary = Da Vinci Innovation Group introduces new Patented Tool for
SAFELY Removing Ticks from People & Pets!

Press Release Body = Pomfret, CT, January 19, 2007
Local inventor Brooke A. Lawrence has developed a new patented tool for safely
removing ticks from people & pets. The device called THE TICK TOOL is a uniquely
designed product which features a "V" notch scoop for safe removal of the tick and a
slide closure to cover up and lock the tick in a collection cup after it has been
removed from a victim. "My principal design goal was to prevent people from having
to come in contact with a potentially infectious tick, as was recently recommended
by the Centers for Disease Control. Additionally, I wanted a device that would
safely remove all species of ticks including the very small deer tick and I am
pleased to announce that we have exceeded our goals" said Brooke Lawrence. The Deer
Tick (Ixodes scapularis), is a known carrier of Lyme Disease which is one of the
fastest growing infectious diseases in the United States & Europe. Lyme Disease,
however, is only one of many tick borne diseases. Others include Rocky Mountain
Spotted Fever, Babesiosis, Ehrlichiosis, Q-Fever, Tularemia, Southern
Tick-Associated Rash Illness, and Relapsing Fever. "The longer the duration of tick
attachment, the greater the risk of disease transmission. Early detection and
complete removal of the tick are keys to reducing your risk of infection. Many
experts recommend that you thoroughly inspect pets, loved ones, and yourself if you
spend any time outdoors in the woods or grassy areas." Lawrence added. This year's
mild winter weather pattern is expected to aid in a boom in the tick population
across the country. For additional information visit www.theticktool.com
