Tick Removal


Spring will be here soon and the ticks will soon be showing their heads.
Here is a good way to get them off you, your children, or your pets. Give
it a try.

Please forward to anyone with children... or hunters or dogs, or anyone who
even steps outside in summer!!

A School Nurse has written the info below -- good enough to share -- And it
really works!!

I had a pediatrician tell me what she believes is the best way to remove a
tick. This is great, because it works in those places where it's some times
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.
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 has worked every time I've used it
 
I don't know if you really tried that method, however, I checked, and this has been labeled as FALSE. (I have seen this urban legend floating around, original 2006)

The method below is the correct way to remove a tick. Verify it yourself and search tick removal.
 
That's one thing I dislike about hunting woods sites.

It's hard to keep them off of you...then they end up in the vehicle...house...and so on:thumbdown:
 
I thought the worst was chicks with xxxxx

Don't listen to those d-bunkers of tick removal. I personally like your method. I once had a nasty Utah tick right on my "lunch sack" if you know what I mean. If you think I am going to let somebody with unsteady hands and tweezers down there with poor eye sight to boot, your crazy. Cotton ball with dish soap sounds much better.
 
One home remedy my mom use to do to us was dab the tick with fingernail polish remover. It even worked on the lunch sack.... Proven method, by me... :thumbup:
 
Last year one of the guys from Michigan posted an answer to the tick problem. He said that ticks do not like oil. So when he is hunting in the woods and a tick comes up he just puts some oil on it and the tick starts backing out. Just pull out your dip stick on your car and put a drop of oil on it and all is well. It really does work.
 
When I was a boy, I distinctly remember my mother coming at me with a lit cigarette towards my little peanuts and my brother John singing " gonna have a weeny roast, don't need to build a fire":rofl: And the whole time she's saying "hold still or you will make me burn you" ........ahhhh...............fond memories of one's youth. I think I'll call her tomorrow.:wiggle:
 
while digging in and sucking they use the pores in their backs to breathe. Read this in an old Outdoor Life magazine many many years ago.

They also cannot get thru the mesh of nylons and panty hose. (The U.S. Air Force recommended this to enlisted and officer personnel doing war games in a tick infest field of Texas).
 
Spray your shoes socks ans lower trousers with "Deep Woods Off" . You can also try rubber banding your trouser legs onto your socks... Hey it will slow em down and mae you feel better at minimum.. Does work for me..
