How To Remove a Tick
Spring is here and the ticks will soon be showing in 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 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 has worked every time I've used it (and that was
frequently), and it's much less traumatic for the patient and easier for
me. Unless someone is allergic to soap, I can't see that this would be
damaging in any way. I even had my doctor's wife call me for advice
because she had one stuck to her back and she couldn't reach it with
tweezers. She used this method and immediately called me back to say,
"It worked!"
THIS WAS SENT TO ME BUY A FRIEND...I TRUST IT WILL WORK!
