•How to remove tick on your skin
•Use fine-tipped tweezers to grasp the tick as close to the skin's surface
•Pull upward with steady. Don't twist or jerk the tick; this can cause the mouth-parts to break off and remain in the skin.
•If this happens, remove the mouth-parts with tweezers. If you are unable to remove the mouth easily with clean tweezers, leave it alone and let the skin heal.
•After removing the tick, thoroughly clean the bite area and your hands with rubbing alcohol, an iodine scrub, or soap and water.
