I've felt the touch of healing hands, neath the willow trees and birch, cause the water's my religion, and the river is my church. Kenny

This may cause a tick to back out but in the process it causes the tick to regurgitate. NOT GOOD.

The only recommended method is to use tweezers. Bottom line: No matter what method is used, remember when you were bitten and if you start feeling the least bit ill within a couple of weeks get to a knowledgeable doctor and start the doxycycline treatment.
We are all afflicted with Cognitive Dissonance. The greater our religious, social, financial or political affiliation, the greater the affliction. We hear what we want to hear. We believe what we want to believe. Truth becomes irrelevant.
