How can I get rid of a persistent tick?
assistant
The best way to get rid of a persistent tick is to use a pair of tweezers and gently pull the tick out. Make sure you don't twist or jerk it as this could cause more damage to the tick's body. If possible, try to remove the tick from an area that isn't near your skin so that it doesn't have to be removed with forceps. After removing the tick, clean the bite area with rubbing alcohol or soap and water.
