[Dailydrool] Tick removal

[Angelika Hastings]

I received this in an email. Have not tried it- so I don't know if it really does work- but it sure won't harm anything. If someone tried is succesfully~ please let us know.
 
 
"I had a pediatrician tell me what she believes is the best 
way to remove a tick. This is great because it works in 
those places where it's sometimes difficult to get to with 
tweezers: between toes, in the middle of a head full of 
dark hair, etc."
"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 lift 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.."
"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 because she had one stuck to her 
back and she couldn't reach it with tweezers. She used 
this method and immediately called me back to say, 
"It worked!"
