Safe Tick Removal

A nurse discovered a safe, easy way to remove ticks where they  automatically withdraw themselves when you follow her simple instructions.

This could save you some major problems.

Tick Removal:

Here is a good way to get them off you, your children, or your pets.

Give it a try.

Great because it works in those places where it’s sometimes difficult to get to with tweezers:  between toes, in the middle of a head full of dark hair, etc.”

Apply a glob of liquid soap to a cotton ball. Cover the tick with the soap-soaked cotton ball and swab it for a few seconds (15-20); the tick will come out on its own and be stuck to the cotton ball when you lift it away

This technique works and it’s much less traumatic for the patient. 

Also, if you pull a tick off, their heads sometimes break off and are left under the skin so this is much safer.

Be aware also that a tick  can cause Tick Fever so check yourself and your family well.

Unless someone is allergic to soap, I can’t see that this would be damaging in any way.
