Don't try flushing or washing down a drain. The tick will come back.
You can do it. 
The really gross ones are the engorged ones. Thank goodness I have only ever found one of those. |
Thanks, Kristin, you're the best!
I once had one on me, omg i seriously lost my voice from screaming so much! Not to mention crying, lol, and trying to tell my mom to come to my apt. to get if off me. My dad came & couldn't get it & tried to reassure me it was a mole!!!
It was highly traumatizing! lol. But I do think my "maternal" instincts would kick in if I felt Princess was in danger & I'd do what had to be done. Thanks for telling me about the alcohol. I had to keep mine as I had a big welt, but it was ok.
