Just received this from a friend---fortunately, we don't have any ticks at
this time.
>Please forward to anyone with children.. or hunters, etc!! thanks! or if
>you work in the yard, golf, fish, you name it!
>
> 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 it's 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!"
