[QUOTE="flyguy1, post: 1921269, member: 92595"] From the CDC: [IMG alt="icon of a tick"]https://www.cdc.gov/lyme/images/tick-icon.png[/IMG] Avoid folklore remedies such as “painting” the tick with nail polish or petroleum jelly, or using heat to make the tick detach from the skin. Your goal is to remove the tick as quickly as possible–do not wait for it to detach. I heard all those things growing up too. Irritants such as heat or nail polish simply cause the tick to discharge contents into the victim, increasing likelihood of disease. Also here is the CDC link on Lyme disease; all you need to know.
