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) :-)

That also works excellent to keep down the White Grub population. If
you have a Veggy Garden, too.

At the end of the season, the chickens sure are tasty !!!

Wayne, you left out the most important part of the joke. 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.

yea,
i'm new here,
can you tell me about the forum?
