When you spend time outside, it’s important to check for ticks. If you spot one, you’ll need to carefully remove it. Follow these steps to safely remove these pests.

1. Check for Ticks
If you’re in areas where ticks are likely to be present, you need to check for them after returning inside. They are known to bite ears, knees, waist, legs, and near hair.

2. Use the Right Tools
You’ll want to use clean, fine-tipped tweezers to remove ticks. You can clean the tweezers with rubbing alcohol before using.

3. Carefully Remove the Tick
Grasp the tick, staying close to the skin, and slowly pull the tick upward. Keep the movement straight and avoid twisting.

4. Dispose of the Tick
Dispose of the tick by placing it in alcohol, a sealed container, or flushing it down the toilet. Don’t try to crush the tick.

5. Clean the Bite Area
After the tick has been removed, clean the area and your hands with soap and water or rubbing alcohol to prevent an infection.
