Protocol for dealing with ticks
Safe extraction techniques
Removing a tick should be done with extreme care to avoid leaving the insect’s head embedded in the skin. Use fine-tipped tweezers, grasping the tick as close to the skin as possible and gently pulling upwards with a firm, steady motion.
Avoid twisting or crushing the tick, as this could release the insect’s bodily fluids into the wound, increasing the risk of infection.
