Tick Removal 

   
Here is a good way to get them off you, your children, or your pets.  
Give it a try.
 

Please forward to anyone with children... or hunters or dogs, or anyone who even
steps outside in summer!! 
 

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 (15-20), the tick will
come out on its 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!" 
 Also Vasoline will work just as well.
