Tick removal
Got this in an email today. Haven't tried it, but it wouldn't hurt anything even
if it doesn't work. Tick removal Spring is here and the ticks will soon be showing their heads. 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!! A School Nurse has written the info below -- good enough to share -- And it really works! ======== "I had a pediatrician tell me what she believes is the best way to remove a tick. This is great, because it works in those places where it's some times difficult to get to with tweezers: between toes, in the middle of a head full of dark hair, etc." "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!" |

And then there is the old boy scout method. I call it the boy scout method because that's where I first heard of it - also reported to work on crab lice: Spray the area with lighter fluid. Set on fire using the method of your choice. Wait for ticks, lice to make a hasty exit, Stab with an ice pick. (old boy scout joke, just kidding) :-) |

You shave one ball and then light the other ball on fire. When they run to the shaved ball to escape the fire, then you stab them with an ice pick. |

I thought I could get all my dogs ticks with a 12 ga. shotgun, but then I thought maybe a treatment flea and tick spray would be more humane for the ticks. Hell, you're just a lot nicer guy than I am. Funny - last week Renee called me wanting to know how to remove a tick from her dog, Mojo. I told her my way, using alcohol and a tweezers, but suggested she take it to the vet just to be sure. Later I got the email I posted about the liquid soap method. I forwarded it to the kids when I put it here. This morning I got this email from Renee: From: Renee **** Sent: Wednesday, April 13, 2011 6:36 AM To: 'John Herring' Subject: Tick Removal This is what the vet did when I took Mojo! He told me the same thing! |
