Subject: Fw: Ticks
> Spring is here and the ticks will soon be showing their heads. Here

> try.
>
> Please forward to anyone with children... or hunters or dogs, or
> anyone who even steps outside in summer!!
>
> A School Nurse has written the info below -- good enough to share --
> And it really works!!
> 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
> some times 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!'

.
> Please pass on. Everyone needs this helpful hint.

> Have a GREAT 2008!!
