> A School Nurse has written the info below -- good enough to share

>And it really works!!

> I had a pediatrician tell me what she believes is the best way to
>remove a tick. This is great , because it works in those places where
>it's some times difficult to get to with tweezers: between toes, in the
>middle of a head full of dark hair, etc.
>
> Apply a glob of liquid soap to a cotton ball. Cover the tick with
>the
>soap-soaked cotton ball and swab it for a few seconds (15-2! 0), the
>tick will come out on it's own and be stuck to the cotton ball when you
>lift it away.
>This technique has worked every time I've used it (and that was
>frequently), and it's much less traumatic for the patient and easier for
>me.
>
>Unless someone is allergic to soap, I can't see that this would be
>damaging in any way. I even had my doctor's wife call me for advice
>because she had one stuck to her back and she couldn't reach it with
>tweezers. She used this method and immediately called me back to say,
>"It worked!"
>
>
> Please pass on >>>> everyone needs this helpful hint.
