I heard 6 million ticks are killed every day

If you look on the underside abdomen of a tick there is a small opening which is his trachea through which he breathes when feeding. A blop of any ointment (or axle grease, lotion, whatever goo you have) over the trachea will stop his breathing and cause the tick to withdraw its (((probiscus))) voluntarily. Then there is no fuss about whether tick parts are left behind beneath your skin.

Alternatively, if you lift up their back legs you will see their nuts. Now just grab a hold of them and squeeze. Works every time.

i tested positive for lyme disease, 2 months ago.
medical websites say use tweezers. don't put chemicals on the tick. the tick could regurgitate toxins.
if a tick bites you, make an appt. with a dr. from what i read, the risk is low from a tick bite. but tick infections are easier to treat, soon after a bite.

That's actually interesting and useful as fuck.

I don't like this technique, easy to fuck up, and you'll end up with part of the ticks head left behind.

Grabbing and twisting works better imho, and since i've had dogs since forever, i have a few on me at all times, looks like a toothpick that ends in two prongs, slightly bent.

The prongs go on either side of the ticks head, as close to the skin as possible, then you twist, and the whole tick releases. Easy removal, tool fits in my wallet.

I've heard soaking in soapy water works too, but never tried it. Ticks are nasty, and if you're retarded and pull on their body, they'll vomit.

I've heard nail polish will make them release after a bit. After a day out in the woods, I discovered one on my nuts.

I tried a few things...

Did the nail Polish work?

It sure did. As soon as his boyfriend saw his painted nails, he proposed.

I don't know. Supposedly you're supposed to let it set for a little while. I couldn't wait that long.

With cats you can actually just toss them into a bonfire and it will remove the ticks aftwr 20-30 minutes the cats might struggle though so you’ll want to tape their legs together

This chinaman has the best advice

How bad is the infection if they "vomit" under your skin?

People say your chances of getting lyme disease skyrockets, but I don't know.

I've used the crescent part of a nail file attached to a trimmer to the same end. I was successful but I've only done it the one time.

Even ‘noticing’ is antisemitic

The tick is immunized against all dangers: one may call him a bug, parasite, critter, bitter, it all runs off him like water off a raincoat. But call him a tick and you will be astonished at how he recoils, how injured he is, how he suddenly shrinks back: “I’ve been found out.”
