    Best way to remove ticks

    Bear season is here so is tick season, I just read the best way to remove ticks is to have a
    small amount of liquid soap on hand and cotton balls .
    Apply a small amount of liquid soap on the cotton ball and apply it on the tick , wait 15-20 seconds the tick will
    spontaneously detach it self and stick to the cotton ball .

    . There’s a high level of percentage that the tick will regurgitate on the way out when applying any foreign matter such as soap, essential oils, etc. The best way is with a tick removal tool to ensure they are grabbed at the head and pulled out cleanly. With so much talk of lime disease these days, really can’t afford to take any chances.

    Pulled a tick off my dogs neck two years ago now, and it is swelling up now. Size of a big marble?

    Best method is to not get any on you. There are so many sprays and lotions to stop them from attaching to you I don't know why anyone walking in the bush doesn't use them. Horse sprays with Permethrin in it on your cloths, not skin and it is good for 3 washing till it needs to be re-applied.
    I hate blood sucking ticks because it is competition for the blood sucking lieberals.

    Many doctors now recommend a course of antibiotics following the removal of an embedded tick to prevent Lyme disease. Several members of our field crew have had ticks removed in recent years and were given antibiotics.

    Buy a tick key.

    Rubbing anything on a tick is a terrible idea.
