When I went to the Missouri gathering (also tick country), I had this
great little tick remover I got from my veterinarian. It worked great both on people and on heavy-coated dogs, who tend to be tick magnets out in the woods. It looks like a small plastic measuring spoon with a V-notch in it. I highly recommend it. Thanks for the reminder. By the way, touching a hot match to a tick, or applying lighter fluid or kerosene to one, are NOT recommended, for obvious reasons. The best way to remove them is supposedly to grasp them firmly and pull gently - very gently -- on them until they let go. Then throw them into a fire or pinch them between two hard surfaces like your thumbnails (Eew, gross!). They are like fleas in that you can't easily squish or crush them. |

Those are okay if you are slow and gentle enough to wait until the little parasites let go, but they can also break off the head of the tick and leave it embedded in your skin, so, careful does it. > > > By the way, touching a hot match to a tick, or applying lighter fluid or > kerosene to one, are NOT recommended, for obvious reasons.

I highly recommend using sharp pointy tweezers (forceps) to grasp the tick by the "neck" i.e., between its body and the embedded head, then pull very gently and steadily, etc. If you use your fingers to grasp the tick you can squeeze its body injecting yourself with anything that's in there..... YUCK! |
