Both the fact of his bite and the procedure for removing him from skin cover. Even after successfully removing the tick, worries immediately will not decrease, but rather – on the contrary.

There are several ways. extract tick from the skin. The first way. This, for example, drip a little vegetable oil on it. According to the narrator, the tick will begin to suffocate and will itself pull its head out of the skin. I tried – does not work. The second way. The beginning is the same as the first, only after “lubrication” the insect is necessary with tweezers, rotational remove from the bite site with movements. Doubtful, in my opinion, way. If you press on the tick with tweezers, then we get a 100% guarantee that he will inject a large dose of his saliva into the victim’s body, and it is through her that the virus becomes infected. The third way. Removing the tick with a regular thread. Between the body of the parasite and the place where he sucked, you need to throw a thread, after which make a revolution or two around the tick. Tighten the resulting loop slightly on his neck. When all this is done, it is necessary to connect the ends of the thread and with two fingers start twisting it. Do not rush, do it need to be gradually, while avoiding too much tension thread and its sharp twitches. The procedure will take several minutes and is the safest of all named.
