REMOVING A TICK

If you find a tick, don't panic... it can take several hours for ticks to transmit disease.
Grasp the head of the tick with blunt tweezers as close to the skin as possible and gently pull the head away from your skin. You may use a dab of insect repellent or stove fuel to loosen its grip. Try not to squeeze the tick's body, as this increases the risk of infection. After removing the tick, disinfect the tweezers and bite site, and wash your hands. Do not prick, crush or burn the tick as this may cause the release of infected tick fluids. Do not try to smother the tick as it has enough oxygen to complete feeding.Watch the area carefully for the next couple of days. If a bull's eye rash (a red ring around a white center) develops or flu-like symptoms occur, medical attention is necessary.Lyme Disease is easily treatable with antibiotics in the early stages, but if left untreated it can cause permanent problems including arthritic joints, severe headaches and abnormal heartbeat.
