Ugg… Ticks! I dislike ticks greatly! I dislike the stuff I have to put on my dog to prevent ticks! I dislike removing ticks! Ewe…. Yuck… They are gross insects! I recently received an email from a friend. I haven’t tried it yet, hopefully I won’t have to! But, it’s better than using tweezers.
“A School Nurse has written the information below – Good Enough to share – and it really works.”
Tick Removal
“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 own and be stuck to the cotton ball when you lift it away.”
Let me know if it work, unless I need to do it before that!
I HATE ticks! And, I really hope I don’t need to try this.
Oh, I hate ticks! I had to remove one off my stomach (still have the scar, though) when I was a little girl. Thankfully, it was dead.
I hope I never come in contact with a tick!
