How to Remove a Tick Safely and Quickly – Tick Removal

Click Here To Subscribe: goo.gl/40vkOn

It is important to avoid and check for ticks, and to remove a tick as soon as you find it. Tick may pass on during feeding or a skin infection where the tick bit you. Use fine-tipped tweezers to grasp the tick as close to the skin's surface as possible. After removing the tick, thoroughly clean the bite area and your hands with rubbing alcohol.
Loop the string around the tick's head. The string should lie as close to the skin as possible. Pull the ends of the string upward in a slow, steady motion. The tick's mouth will release the skin. Another popular tick-removal strategy involves using heat, usually in the form of a glowing match, to persuade the tick to detach from your skin on its own.
