How To Remove a Tick

The best way to remove a tick is by using pointy tweezers. You don’t want to tear the tick and leave a piece behind as this can cause serious health issues.

Use antiseptic to spray directly onto the tick and the tick bite area.  Use tweezers to grab the tick as close as possible to it’s head.

Pull up the tick slowly and straight,applying even pressure.  Place the removed tick in a sealable plastic bag or glass jar.

Disinfect your hands and the bite area using antiseptics.  Wash your hands with warm soapy water.

While not all tick species carry diseases it is always prudent to see your doctor immediately when bitten by a tick.

Take the removed specimen with you as testing may need to be done.
