Remove tick with tweezers

DO NOT remove or handle the tick as they may carry dieseases

Be careful of squeezing the tick as it may inject its stomach into wound

Mark the date of bite on calendar

Look for any remaining tick parts in or around the area of the bite

Any flu symptoms that occur within three days to two months of the tick bite consult a physician as lyme diesease may not be exposed until almost two months after the bite
