Next, remove the tick. Using tweezers or a tick removal instrument, hold it as near to the skin as possible and gently pull it out. Avoid squeezing or twisting the tick, as this may cause the head to break off and remain in the skin.
Dispose of The Tick
After removing the tick, dispose of it properly. Place it in a sealed plastic bag or container and dispose of it in your outdoor garbage can. Avoid crushing the tick with your fingertips, since this can release disease-causing germs.
Clean the Area.
Clean the area properly with soap and water to avoid infection or disease spread. You can also sanitize the area with rubbing alcohol or hydrogen peroxide.
