Olivia Abrams ’21 was named to the 2025 Forbes 30 Under 30 Social Impact list for the TiCK MiTT, a tick-removing glove that can be used on people and pets.
While Abrams was a student at Lehigh in 2018, she and her father began working with a tick scientist to develop a tick-removing glove, and the TiCK MiTT was officially launched in March 2023.
The glove is made of scientifically engineered microfiber that works like Velcro to easily remove ticks, then is placed in a mesh bag in the dryer, where the heat kills the ticks. The TiCK MiTT has been featured on “The View” and “Good Morning America,” and can be purchased on websites like TickMitt.com and Amazon.
