Haven't tried this, but thought I'd pass it along.


>> EASY TICK REMOVAL
>> 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 some times 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 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.
