We must have stubborn ticks in our neck of the woods........I've tried this
method several times and it has never worked. (I've never tried in on a human.)

Received the following and it looks like good advice.....thought I would
share.
=======================================================
FINALLY A EASY WAY TO GET THOSE B******** OFF !!!!!!!!!
Easy 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 sometimes
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 frequent), 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!"
Please pass on. Everyone needs this helpful hint.
