TeXaN 0 Posted May 12, 2004 Share Posted May 12, 2004 (edited) submurge it in water till it removes it head , Rub vasoiline on the back side so it cant breathe mmmm what else did the boy scouts teach me that i cant remember , DONT USE TWEEZERS they will just remove the body while the head is still attached inside Edited May 12, 2004 by TeXaN Quote Link to post Share on other sites
osokdfgr 0 Posted May 12, 2004 Author Share Posted May 12, 2004 oh well, mom called the doc and talked to a nurse who had her pull it out, (btw, I have the boy scouts manuel, and it says to use tweezers) anyways after getting it out I looked at it under a microscope and the head was still attached. thank you LORD.

WhiteKnight77 1 Posted May 13, 2004 Share Posted May 13, 2004 We always used a just extinguished match to it's body to make it pull out. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

pz3 338 Posted May 14, 2004 Share Posted May 14, 2004 Our backyard had tick problem.... our dog would go out for part of the day she would bring em in... fortunitly i become very good at removing tics from her first.. so when i seen one on me it was no biggy... and neither of us ever got sick . tweezers r the best way to go Quote Link to post Share on other sites
