| EZ Tick Removal Info!! This came to me via email today....thought we all might use this info and pass it on....... ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 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 sometimes 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 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 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. I even had my doctor's wife call me for advice because she had one stuck to her back and she couldn't reach it with tweezers. She used this method and immediately called me back to say, "It worked".

Luvs Lulu Donating Member | Thanks for the tip. I think it's a good one. Nice to not have to touch the thing...ick is all I can say. Plus it seems like it will be painless for all parties concerned.
