Have someone pull it out with a tweezers as close to the head as you can. While its sucking your blood it could be infecting you. Save the body for your doctor to look at. Brrrrr I hate ticks.

jtval 0 #5 July 28, 2007 They'll go all the way to the bone. eventually they calcify and end up being, ofr lack of better term, a bone spur. the problem is that the head gets into your bone marrow and lays eggs. It hollows out your bone, from the inside out, and eventually the babies come bursting out like tarantula's from a cactus. Actually, only the tarantula thing is true, the rest is typed purely to gross you out.Supposedly if you take a cotton ball soaked with Peroxide(i think) and hold it over the tick it will release its hold and try to get away. Then, you can get a tiny little stake and have a witch trial with it. My photos My Videos Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

peanutgallery 0 #8 July 28, 2007 I get em out by stricking a match and touching the hot tip to the tick and it backs right out. Make sure you save it to show the doc. Don't pull cause if the head gets stuck in there it's very hard to get out.I used to have a handle on life, but it broke Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Tweezers as close to the head as possible, and gentilly pull it out. Or a fine tooth comb such as a dogs tick combDivot your source for all things Hillbilly.

LisaH 0 #24 July 29, 2007 My dad was on a mountaineering rescue team and got ticks a lot. As a kid I was fascinated by watching him use a lit match or lighter to make them back out. I say, burn it's little butt. If the head detaches and stays in though, go to the doctor! Be yourself! MooOOooOoo Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
lawrocket 3 #25 July 29, 2007 Yes. Whilst in basic at Ft. Knox. I remember vividly finding it just before formation for lunch. After formation I went to Drill Sergeant Brown and waited until he acknowledged me. He asked what the hell I needed. I told him I have a tick. "Groan. Come on. Where?" I pointed to the general area. At which point in time he grabbed me and pulled me to the troop medical clinic where an E-4 spent a good 10 minutes gingerly removing it. I credited him for not laughing afterward. Trust me - there is no such thing as a "minor groin procedure." Any groin procedure is fucking major. My wife is hotter than your wife. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
