Anti Tick Anklet

There's nothing worse than ending your adventure covered in ticks! Our anklets are not only stylish but designed to keep those pesky (and very unwanted) ticks away. You're more than welcome to wear it as a bracelet if you prefer but we find it most effective at the ankle.

Adjustable to fit you perfectly with their own metal toggle and accented with wooden beads.

So how do they work?

Our anklets contain EM® beads (stands for Effective Microorganisms®), a brand name referring to a family of microbial-based products using a technology developed by Japanese scientist Dr. Teruo Higa. The main product, EM·1®, is a liquid bacterial product made up of  three groups of microbes: yeast, photosynthetic bacteria, and lactic acid bacteria. The EM·1® product is added to silicon, which is then baked to create the hard bead/tube used in these necklaces. The EM® ceramic beads give off their own particular electromagnetic wave at a frequency unique to them. Luckily this frequency is known to be unpleasant for ticks and other similar insects. Since the beads emit these waves all the time and are stimulated to do this by sunlight, heat, movement etc the tick is discouraged from attaching itself to the wearer and goes in search of a more appealing host. Though you might still find the odd tick here and there, they tend to not attach.

You will get the best results when wearing the anklet as much as possible during the tick season. It can take up to 4 weeks before the EM’s fully do their job.
Before using it for the first time, rinse the anklet thoroughly in warm water and let it dry naturally in the sun. Repeat this process every 10 days or so.
It is important to keep the beads clean otherwise the wavelength of the emissions can be altered. You can use a little nail brush but DO NOT USE SOAP OR ANY CHEMICALS.
If you use a bug spray or any essential oils, make sure that the beads stay oil free.
The anklet can get wet, so it is no problem to swim with it on. Just let it dry naturally in the sun afterwards. However it should not be worn in pool water because of the chemical treatments in the water.

All our anklets are handmade, please allow variations for this.
Come packaged in our branded canvas gift pouch to keep safe when not in use.
