Tick Removal

Here is a link to a tick remover that was posted on Wellness Mama blog on facebook. My daughter had a tick on her side last weekend when going on our bike ride. I found out that putting oils or soap on them while in your skin can aggravate them and make them regurgitate their stomach fluids into your skin making you more at risk for lyme disease. Also there is a right and wrong way to pull them out. I used tweezers and luckily it was just on the surface but this contraption looks easy to use. There are essential oils you can use as a deterrent like lemongrass or eucalyptus. But shouldn't be put on the actual tick once on you or your pets. Check the links below and can be bought on amazon for around $9 plus shipping. :)
