Tick removal

With Summer here, I thought this might help.

The best way to remove a tick.
This also works in those places where it's sometimes
difficult to get to with tweezers: between toes, in the middle of a
head full of dark hair, etc. (works on pets too).
Apply a glob of liquid soap to a cotton ball. Cover the tick with the
soap-soaked cotton ball and let it stay on the repulsive insect for a few seconds (20-30), after which the tick will come out on it's own and be stuck to the cotton ball when you lift it away.
This technique has worked every time I've tried it (and that has
been frequently). Unless someone is allergic to soap, I can't see that this would be damaging in any way.
"It works!" Please pass on; everyone can use this helpful hint.
