They say you should use a credit card or something similar to scrape the tick away. If you grab it and squeeze with your fingers, you risk squeezing some unwanted fluid back into the person. This can be bad, especially if the tick has bitten anything with lyme disease. If you are concerned, you can have the tick sent off to be tested. Get a lighter and some tweezers.Get the tip of the tweezers hot.Then barley touch the tic with the tweezers and hold it there for however long it takes to kill it.After it dies you can pick it out.Whatever you do try not to touch your skin with the hot tweezers.GOOD LUCK REMOVING THE TIC!!!***

This last entry is INCORRECT! DO NOT DO THIS! The heat and pressure will surely cause the tick to push fluid back into you, giving you an injection of whatever blood they sucked before you. A great way to remove ticks is to get some soapy water on a paper towel. Put it on the tick and rub in a circular motion. Do this for 60 seconds, and the tick will fall right off.
