If a tick has already attached to you, I'd reccommend seeking out some medical help, but since we're in the outdoors group, what are the chances of there being one nearby :)
You should:
- Pour a little bit of spirits on the tick. That should both dissinfect the area and stun the bugger a bit.
- Make a little loop, and try to pull out the tick, evenly
You should not
- Squeeze the tick, as doing do could cause it to empty the contents of its stoach, thus releasing the Lime disease.
- Leave parts of it inside. Try to get them out at once.
The thing is, that if you've got a tick, what you should be concerned about is geting the tick out, without it vommiting. Other than that, seek medical assistance as soon as possible, and keep the tick if possible. It may lessen the need for treatments.
