I watched a movie last year about Lyme disease called Under Our Skin.

Not all ticks carry Lyme but this film explains that Lyme disease can be really really bad.

OFA 3 handbook:

Wood Tick Removal

*Place a drinking straw or a pen barrel down over the tick and slide a peice of thread down the straw so it is right next to the skin where the tick is attached.

*Tie a firm(not too tight) knot around the jaw of the tick as close as possible to the surface of the skin.

* remove the straw and pull the thread gently upward until the tick comes away from the skin.

caution! do not burn tick off as the head will possibly stay in the skin.

Carry some cotton balls soaked in liquid dish soap, in a ziplock baggie.
If a tick becomes imbedded, simply place the cotton ball over the tick for a minute, the tick usually backs out within 30 seconds and will be stuck in the soap!
I read this tick removal trick on a shed hunting site, guys said it works like a hot dam!

Very interesting because I had a lady in my first aid class that went for a hike and got a tick on the back of her neck. she was scared to pull it off because the mandible(mouth parts) stay attached, so I had too early the next morning.

pretty early for ticks I thought.

What, did you go over to her place for breakfast in the morning

Pinch & Twist always seemed to work pretty good. And always easier if your animal is ok with you pulling 'em off!

30 years which way?If you are 18 and she`s 49 and hot,be happy!
If you are 49 and and she`s 18 ,be twice as happy!
By the way ,if you brag you have to show pictures.
Sorry, but it`s a rule.

Sawmill you are officially a creepy old man. Not too many 49 year olds would want to do an 18 year old. God, not too many 49 year olds want to be around 18 year olds.
