use a tick key or pull it out with your fingers.
there was a post here recommending the tick key, I got one and it works fairly well. tickkey.com
Use blunt curved tweezers or a thread.
Grasp the tick as close to the skin surface as possible and pull upward with a steady, even pressure.
Do not twist or jerk the tick because this may cause the mouth parts to detach and remain in the skin.
You should pull firmly enough to lift up the skin.
Hold this tension for 3 to 4 minutes and the tick will back out.
DO NOT squeeze, crush, or puncture the body of the tick because its fluids may contain bacteria.
Immediately dispose of the tick. If you have any concerns, put the tick in a plastic bag and freeze it. If you get sick you can take the dead tick with you when you see your provider.
Immediately wash your hands and the affected area with soap and water.
just pull it out if the head breaks off no worry it will works its way out like a sliver. the ticks saliva glads are in its body not in its head so there is no worry of ilness. if you dont believe google it
burn it off with a lighter
Tie a half-hitch in small monofilament fishing line. Slide the loop past the legs against the skin and work the knot tight. Then work the knot back and forth while pulling.
Touch it with something hot like a match.
