I ran all over town, nobody stocks these remover thingys
i thought vinegar and twisting it (rather than pulling it) was the answer...?

the tick in vaseline jelly.
It will suffocate the tick, they use their skin to breath.
It will fall or wash of after a good few hours.
Keep the tick and go to the doctors, ticks can cause horrible fevers and infections, please make sure you do this asap.

Best way is to dip one end of a cotton bud into paraffin & dab it onto the tick this will kill the tick quickly & safely without leaving any mouth parts embeded into the skin.

If you burn them out it cause almost certain regurgitation, allowing all the diseases and infections in your blood.
If someone put a match to my ass I am sure I would regurgitate...
I hope the tick didn't come from Slovenia as they have TBE, which is a very serious virus.

Parafin works, as does soaking it in vodka.
