You can find tick removal tools at your local Pet Food Store. They are typically $5 or less. Buy a few and give some to friends. They look similar to those shown in the links provided below.
Each mfg. has their own look but the removal method is the same. The appropriate and correct removal method is critical so that the embedded tick cannot regurgitate it's stomach contents and saliva into your blood stream. This tool surrounds the head of the tick without cutting it off and allows smooth and complete removal leaving the tick intact. The germs and disease producing organisms are contained in the contents of the stomach of the tick and they will let it loose into your blood stream when provoked. That is why other methods of suffocation, smoking, etc. are not advised. This is a handy tool to keep on every key ring and in any other area of your home where you can remember to find it such as the medicine cabinet. http://www.discountdogstuff.com/product/IH-TICKKEY http://www.tickinfo.com/protickremedy.htm It is important to note that other biting insects carry Lyme Disease as well such as, mosqitoes, horse flys, etc., and shockingly LD can be transmitted sexually as well as by birth from a mother that is infected. You don't have to be bitten by a tick to contract Lyme Disease. Oh, one other little tick - Lyme not Lyme's. No such thing as Lyme's Disease.
