Emcur Tick Bite Gel is used for immediate care and skin regeneration after a tick bite. Due to the osmotic effect of the mineral salt contained in this gel, the tick's salivary secretion (which may contain bacteria and viruses) is drawn from the puncture site, thereby reducing swelling. The gel also has nourishing and moisturizing properties thanks to aloe vera and glycerin. Ethanol provides a cooling and disinfecting effect. Horseradish supports the ethanol's effect. Other features: - It can also be applied in cases of oak and nettle processionary moths. - Recommended for all skin types. - Osmotically effective extraction gel, dermatologically tested formula. - No synthetic colors, fragrances, or preservatives, and free of mineral oil, paraffin, and silicone. - Manufactured in Germany to the highest quality and safety standards. Immediately after noticing a tick bite, apply the gel generously to the affected area of skin. If possible, do not rub in, or do so very lightly. The thicker the gel you apply, the better it will work. Suitable for small children. For external use only. Avoid contact with mucous membranes and eyes. Keep out of reach of children. Observe the tick bite puncture site for several weeks. Ring-shaped redness of the skin may be a symptom of Lyme disease. If flu-like symptoms occur, consult your doctor immediately. Keep in a cool, dry place, protected from sunlight.
