Seriously, it seemed a little creepy to "massage" that tick but I bet it actually was less than 30 seconds. WAY easier, IMHO, than pulling with tweezers. I did try that first and the pup cried so loud that I knew it was hurting her. Try the "dizzy tick" method on one of your rescues and let me know if you think it's easy. Or have someone else try it if it creeps you out.  The thing is, once it lets go, you can just pick it up and throw it in alcohol or do whatever else you do to kill them. But this way you actually see the entire head still attached to the body and know that you got it all.

 Even though I will hate your method..I will try it. It might be awhile as I have not found any ticks in Colorado...it was Arizona where it was bad... I will still put them in the booze...to kill them with kindness.....okay so they pass out and die...

| the snopes.com DOES NOT recommend using dish soap...PLEASE DO NOT TRY IT. Read further into it, snopes.com tell of emails and things that are FALSE and this one is a false home remedy that could actually make a tick put more toxins into the body of the host....please read the article all the way before assuming it's telling you to DO it, DON'T TRY THIS METHOD PLEASE. snopes.com: Liquid Soap Tick Removal |
