I detest wood ticks...thank-you for this removal method...will keep it in mind for the next time a tick is found on myself or someone I know.

Just saw a PBS program on Lyme disease, very scary what ticks can cause. Thanks for the info.

Thanks so much. Will try this with my dogs!

Thanks for the info!

Thanks for the great info Ditter! When you're not brightening our day with a funny, you're watching out for our health with your great tips! You're a gem! :-D :-D

We took Woody to the park last week and he came home with 4 ticks. Luckily they hadn't attached yet, but I saw one in his ear this a.m. Will try your method. Thanks!

This seems to be "THE" year of the tick. Have never seen/had so many so early (started in April). What I do is have a can of Off handy and give the attached tick a nice dollop of spray, wait a few minutes, grab with the hemostats and gently pull. It gets the head every time. What the OFF does I have no clue but it sure works in getting them to release their death grip. Will try the dish soap remedy though - less expensive. Thanks, Ditter.

Thanks so much Ditter!

thanks Ditter, I'll bookmark this. Barb

Thank you. :D
