A School Nurse has written the info below — good enough to share, And it really works!!\u00a0I had a pediatrician tell me what she believes is the best way to\u00a0remove 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\u00a0middle of a head full of dark hair, etc.<\/p>\n
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\u00a0lift 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.\u00a0 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\u00a0because she had one stuck to her back and she couldn’t reach it\u00a0with tweezers. She used this method and immediately called me back to\u00a0say, ‘It worked!’<\/p>\n
