  Here are some tips on how to remove and kill ticks. If you have a tick on your body, dip a cotton swab in alcohol and rub the alcohol around the tick's head.

  If the tick isn't far in your skin, he should let go almost immediately. If he is too far into your skin, the alcohol will not reach his head so you will have to do something else to remove the tick.

  Another way to remove a tick is to burn the tick. Take a needle and heat the end up with a flame from a match or lighter. Then touch the tick with the heated needle. Sometimes a tick will let go if you do this.

  If the tick is way too far in your skin, this might be a risk but you could just try to pull him out with tweezers. Be careful not to leave his head in your body.
