Chop down the trees, them burn them.

You just don't get it.

I heat up the tip of a thick needle and poke the tick with it until the guy falls off. Had one in my scalp once. :c

I had one on the end of my Jolly Rodger and it hurt.

Good God did I need that information in any way?

I don't think that's possible.
It is. I have a cat a dog, and a few bunnies that get them. I even took some off of my friends at one time. Pinch it at the base of the head and rip it off.

oh god, lol

You're supposed to grab their mouth part and pull straight up (tweezers help here). Don't squeeze them though or else you's be gettin' the Lyme disease

Yeah
You did

You can't really squeeze them, unless you are lazy and let them get fat.

I've heard that if you use the hot pin or match trick, they'll vomit a little into you before you pull them off. (aka slightly higher chance of lyme disease)

Getting lyme disease from a tick is uncommon, either way.

You guys are doing it wrong

You've got to punch the tick.
PUNCH IT.

you're all wrong. You have to have love with the tick and give it AIDS.

Wrong wrong wrong wrong wrong.

You have to lick the ticks off.

I was always told that if you get bit by one and try to pull it off, its head will break off of its body and be left in your skin.
Only if you pull it off like a dumb ass.
I pull them off me all the time after I go running.
