In many areas of the country the tick is likely to be carrying Lyme disease or other pathogens that can harm humans.
Don't squash the tick.
The spirochete that causes Lyme disease hibernates in the tick's intestine, sometimes for years, waiting for a signal that a new host is available. This signal, an influx of fresh blood, triggers an enormous increase in the spirochete population. After filling the intestine, spirochetes move to the salivary glands and enter the their new host along with anticoagulants and anesthetics produced by the tick. Squashing the tick spreads spirochetes everywhere.
Don't try to burn the tick or smother it with Vaseline etc..
Once that tick is firmly fastened in place, it takes time for the tick to detach itself and depart. No matter how badly the tick may wish to leave quickly, it simply can't. A burning cigarette may kill the tick but won't make it fall off. Ticks can live without air for a long time, so attempts to smother it allow disease transmission to continue for several hours. Anything that upsets or harms the tick without removing it can theoretically cause the tick to regurgitate its stomach contents back into the host, increasing the likelihood of disease transmission.
Don't twist the tick out.
Ticks aren't threaded. Your best chance of removing the head is pulling straight out with steady traction. Twisting invariably leaves the head behind. Because people who twist ticks don't feel the head break off they think it has been removed.
After removing a deer tick, you should put it in a little bowl and burn it with a match so it dies.
If you were able to remove the tick as well as its head, place the tick and a single blade of grass in a small container. Label it with the date and the location where you think you got it, then stick it in the refrigerator. If you get a weird flu within a few weeks, you can have both you and your tick tested for Lyme disease.
To remove a Deer tick from a human use a tweezers to grasp the tick's head and pull it off the skin. Do not twist when pulling the tick or part of it could stay inside the skin. Use alcohol to swab the area where the tick was attached. Save the tick in a jar or bag in case it needs to be identified later.
got a tick on myself and hated it. just light a match, blow it out and stick the match head on the tick. it jumps right out. NOTE: please please run the match under cold water! don't want to start any fires! also there will be a tiny open cut from where the tick was, so take care of that to!

yes
You can get rid of ticks on dogs by using tweezers to gently pull them out. Care must be taken to remove the head to prevent infection.
Ticks are infected when their host is infected. The infected ticks then spread the disease to humans.
Lyme disease is caused by ticks
Pyrethrin is a good treatment for getting rid of ticks, although ticks fall off once theyve gorged on their host.
high heat extermination
The ticks that detach after becoming engorged on blood go off to lay eggs.
Some ways to get rid of ticks include destroying tick habitats (grass and the yard), fence your yard, using safe pesticides, and to get a natural tick repellent.
