tick removal Please forward to anyone? with children... or hunters, etc!!??? thanks!? ? 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 (15-2! 0), 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!" ? Please pass on? >>>> everyone needs this helpful hint. |
