I don't know who came up with this but my sister is into doing things the natural way and she just sent this to me this week. I haven't tried it (and I hope I won't have to!) but it's supposed to work. I guess you'd have to rinse the hair where you had the cotton ball to make sure the soap was gone but other than that I don't see that it would cause any harm. Do you?
>>Apply a glob of liquid soap to a cotton ball. Cover the tick with the soap- soaked cotton ball and let it stay on the repulsive insect for a few seconds (15-20), after which the tick will come out on it's own and be stuck to the
cotton ball when you lift it away. This technique works every time.
Unless someone is allergic to soap, I can't see that this would be damaging in any way.<< |
