How do you remove a tick that has buried itself inside your skin?

The tick%26#039;s almost completely buried inside my dad%26#039;s skin and we need to know how to get it out. Only the butt end of it is sticking out a little.|||You can use a pair of fine-point tweezers. Grasp the tick as close as possible to the point of attachment and slowly and gently pull until your skin starts to lift. Keep up the gentle pressure (without lifting farther) until the tick comes loose. Don%26#039;t twist or jerk. If you do, you might squish the tick or break off its head or mouth parts.


NOTHING else works! If you leave part of the tick in your skin, you should have it removed by a physician. If it is too deep, go to the doctor period! Don%26#039;t try yourselves. Otherwise, you may get an infection in the bite area.





You can not remove a tick by covering it with grease or gasoline, or by holding a match or cigarette against the tick. This does not work! This only increases the chance of you getting an infection.|||I think nail polish remover will get him outta there. Gas him out!!!





OR try this: http://www.kidshealth.org/parent/general鈥?/a>|||Burn the end of it, then remove it with tweezers|||yeah burn it, suffocate it, pull it with tweezers and either smash the living cr ap out of it, or torture it so it regrets ever latching itself onto you|||its needs air to live and if you put a strong adhesive over the area where it is and then it will start to come out and go back towards the surface to find air and when it is out enough pull it out with tweezers. i dont know i saw it on tv but im sure it will work. best of luck|||Go to the hospital.|||What is sticking out is a breathing apparatus. You need to block that. Just like someone suggested, clear nail polish would work. Or you could glob it up with vaseline and put a bandaid over top of it to keep the vaseline on the tick. If it can%26#039;t breath, it will want out of there. If that doesn%26#039;t work, your dad may have to go to the doc to have it taken out. Ticks can cause some pretty serious illnesses, so don%26#039;t delay getting the tick out.
