If you find a tick, remove it immediately using tweezers or a tick puller with slow, steady pressure. Try not to squish the tick while you’re removing it, and be sure to get the entire tick, including its head. Kill the tick in rubbing alcohol before disposing of it.
Do not squish it between your fingers, as infectious diseases may enter through small cuts or breaks in your skin. Wearing disposable rubber gloves while removing ticks and then washing your hands following removal can limit your exposure to diseases. Dispose of ticks in your household garbage after killing them with alcohol.
