Do NOT try this at home


The ticks are bad this year, I hear.  Probably due to all the rain we have been getting.  If you find a tick embedded in you or your family member, remember to run get the antibacterial hand sanitizer.  A co-worker saw this method in action.  Cover the tic with the antibacterial stuff and the tick will pull out -- it backs itself out, head and all.  Then flush it or burn it.  Whatever. 

Do not, I beg you, do NOT use Himself's method of tick removal.  Himself singes the tick with cigarette lighter or igniter until the tick lets go and falls off.  Then he boils it.  He heats it up.

Until his own blood boils and the tick explodes. 

It is something you don't ever need to see.  Or want to see. 

I promise.

omg! I would probably light myself on fire! Good to know about the anti bacterial lotion! Jack has already had a ton of ticks on him this year and he just pulls them off. I need to tell him about the antibacterial stuff.

I show no mercy on ticks. They have no right to my body. This way they will never bother anyone again. LJ
