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.<BR>

"I had a pediatrician tell me what she believes is the best <BR>way to remove a tick. This is great because it works in <BR>those places where it's sometimes difficult to get to with <BR>tweezers: between toes, in the middle of a head full of <BR>dark hair, etc."<BR>"Apply a glob of liquid soap to a cotton ball. Cover the tick <BR>with the soap-soaked cotton ball and swab it for a few <BR>seconds (15-20); the tick will come out on its own and be <BR>stuck to the cotton ball when you lift it away. <BR>This technique has worked every time I've used it <BR>(and that was frequently), and it's much less traumatic <BR>for the patient and easier for me.."<BR>"Unless someone is allergic to soap, I can't see that this <BR>would be damaging in any way. I even had my doctor's <BR>wife call me for advice because she had one stuck to her <BR>back and she couldn't reach it with tweezers. She used <BR>this method and immediately called me back to say, <BR>"It worked!"<BR>
