One can actually remove a tick at home provided it is done safely. Sterilize tweezers and try to use dish soap or Vaseline to get the tick to come out on it's own. If that doesn't work, use tweezers to firmly pull it out, head and all. If the area gets a bulls eye rash or turns black, see a doctor immediately.

Tick Bite Treatment May Save Your Life?

Many ticks are so small you will not even notice them as they bite you. In fact, you may not even feel the bite from the tick until symptoms begin to occur. The unfortunate part of this is that some ticks transmit serious diseases, which can often go undetected for weeks after you are bitten by the tick. These diseases can severely impact the quality of your life and your health. When you suspect you have been bitten by a tick and recognize the symptoms, such as flu-like symptoms, fever, palpitations, shortness of breath, nausea, confusion, swollen and painful joints, numbness and even a rash, contact a doctor immediately to begin treatment. If the tick is still feeding off of your skin, there are a few things you need to know before you attempt to remove the tick. This treatment will not prevent you from contracting diseases that the tick may have, but it will decrease the chances. Common treatments include burning the end of the tick with a match or painting it with paint, nail polish or remover of some sort; however, these treatments for removal could cause the tick to secrete his saliva into your skin and transmit his disease to you. The proper at home removal treatment is to wear a pair of gloves and grab the tick with a pair of tweezers. Flip the tick over onto its back and hold onto the tick with the tweezers as close to your skin as possible. Pull the tick gently until it comes off of your skin; because its mouth and arms are barbed, twisting and turning the tick will only break these parts off into your skin, which causes disease transmission. Now that the tick is removed it is time to seek treatment. Depending on the length of time the tick was attached and the diseases that are common from ticks in the physical location where you picked up the tick, your doctor will provide you with a cream to stop itching, oral antibiotics for potential diseases and blood tests to determine whether or not you were infected with any type of deadly or dangerous disease from the tick.
