How to remove it?

 

When a tick is found in human and pet’s body then you need to take proper removal steps. Basically, improper removal allows for many diseases. Let’s check out the following steps for removal.

 

Step 1: Firstly, you need to take a tick-removal tool. If you do not have this then you can use a set of nose tweezers. Though, dull-tipped tweezers are not ideal for this task.

      

Step 2: While removing, you should pinch the tool toward the tick’s head and then pull it straight from the body with a little amount of pressure. Do not twist or jerk during removal. Basically, you need to remove it from the skin with care. 

      

Step 3: Once you have done it properly, rub the beaten area of the skin with an ice or an antiseptic cream. After that, the tick should be disposed outside and wash your hand with soap.

 

Ticks are generally detected on the neck, feet, head, elbows, and knees of an adult. On a pet like a dog and a cat, ticks can be found between their toes or inside ears.
