So what's the preferred way to remove ticks these days? Since I don't smoke anymore the lit cig or hot match trick isn't very opertunistic 
Experts say a tweezer does just fine....a steady tug and out they come. Cigs, vaseline and other ways do not work. Old wives tales.

What about rubbing a little glugg on the tick? It cures everything maybe it can work as a tick remover.

I just marry a CVT (certified veterinary technician) and keep her around for, say 30 plus years. Cheryl can remove those little buggers like nobody's business.

For ticks, just read dish soap on a cotton ball left on for a bit works. Don't know but would give it a try because the Tony, try to rip the sucker out of my back worked but wasn't fun.

And if you have a kid along who can't handle the site of a tick make sure they are hanging over the toilet. Oh yeah & keep Joe & the lighter away it really scares them more.

I've done the cig and match trick (years ago) and it sort of works, but it does tramitize the patient a wee bit 
And speaking of glugg has anyone heard from Chuck & Judy

Randy - Can Cheryl come up north with us this week?
We are heading up to our place on Sunrise Lake in Mountain and are praying that the ticks are not as bad as they were two weeks ago. Jim had 16 of them on him; I had 3 and the dog 1. Unbelievable, huh? Even with using Frontline monthly, the dog still got Lymes disease and had to be treated. They are always fun to try to get out but typically pulling them with a tweezers does the trick. We have these tick removers too but honestly don't think we have used them ever. As far as mosquitoes (which are extremely bad too), we bought a Thermacell mosquito repellent unit and it seems to work fairly well at keeping them away in a 15' radius.
Hope everyone has a wonderful 4th of July! We are on vacation until July 14th. Yippee...
