Tweezers
Tick removal from skin: The best way to remove a tick is to use a tweezers. As shown in Figure 1, Grasp the mouthparts near the skin surface, and pull directly outward in a firm but gentle manner. Avoid twisting because it could result in mouthparts breaking off and remaining embedded in skin. Also, do not squeeze the tick’s abdomen while attempting to remove it because pressure on its body cavity may force infectious fluid back into the skin. Apply an antiseptic such as rubbing alcohol or iodine to the feeding site after tick removal to prevent infection.
