The steps to safely removing a tick start with a pointy tick removal tweezer. Most household tweezers have large, blunt tips in comparison to ticks. This only increases the chances of tearing the tick and spreading possible infections into the bite area.
Steps to removing a Tick safely :
* Use a pointy tick removal tweezer
* Disinfect with rubbing alcohol
* Grab tick close to skin and use slow, steady motion to pull tick out
* Disinfect again
* Consider tick testing for infection
