How to Remove a Tick?
If you find a tick attached to your skin, it’s important to remove it promptly. You can use fine-tipped tweezers for this, grabbing the tick as close to your skin as possible. Here’s how to do it:
Use clean, fine-tipped tweezers.
Grasp the tick close to the skin’s surface.
Pull upward with steady, even pressure. Avoid twisting or jerking to prevent the mouth-parts from breaking off.
If the mouth-parts break off, remove them with tweezers. If it’s challenging, leave it alone and let the skin heal.
After removing the tick, clean the bite area and your hands thoroughly with rubbing alcohol or soap and water.
Never crush a tick with your fingers.
Dispose of a live tick by putting it in alcohol, sealing it in a bag/container, wrapping it in tape, or flushing it down the toilet.
