helpful info on ticks

HERE IS SOME IMPORTANT INFORMATION FOR YOU:

Spring is here and the ticks will soon be showing their heads.� A nurse
discovered a safe, easy way to remove ticks where they automatically�
withdraw themselves when you follow her simple instructions. � Here is a
good way�to get them off you, your children, or your pets.� Give it a
try.�

Please forward to anyone with children, hunters or dogs; or anyone who
even�steps outside in summer!�

How to remove a tick.

This is great because it works in those places where it's sometimes
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 (15-20); the tick
will come out on its 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.
