VERY GOOD ADVICE for living in AUSTRALIA now that it is TICK SEASON with the warm weather<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

Here is a good way to get them off you, your children, or your pets.
\nA School Nurse has written the info below — good enough to share —
\nAnd it really works!!<\/p>\n

I had a paediatrician tell me what she believes is the best way to remove a tick.
\nThis is great, because it works in those places where it’s some times difficult
\nto get to with tweezers: between toes, in the middle of a head full of dark hair, etc.
\nApply a glob of liquid soap to a cotton ball. Cover the tick with the soap-soaked
\ncotton ball and swab it for a few seconds (15-20), the tick will come out on its own<\/p>\n

and be stuck to the cotton ball when you lift it away.
\nThis technique has worked every time I’ve used it (and that was frequently),
\nand it’s much less traumatic for the patient and easier for me.
\nUnless someone is allergic to soap, I can’t see that this would be damaging in any way.
\nI even had my doctor’s wife call me for advice because she had one stuck to her back
\nand she couldn’t reach it with tweezers. She used this method and immediately called
\nme back to say, “It worked!”<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
