Fwd: tick removal

[Guest guest]

A friend sent this to me and I thought "how simple" so I'm sharing it with you. Suzi Subject: tick removal A School Nurse has written the info below -- good enough to share 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 it's own and be stuck to the cotton ball when you lift it away. This technique has worked every time I've used it (and in KY, 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!"

Reminds me of my friend who put kerosene on the tick on the top of the dogs head and used a hot needle.

She touched the needle to the tick and the kerosene, lit the dogs head on fire, dog ran, caught the curtains on fire and................Burned the house to the ground. The dog survived without a scratch, except a patch of burned fur on her head.
