Crazy Tick Removal | Doctor Reacts

[@suewatkinsmehlenbacher8587]

I live in Florida & Deer Ticks are horrendous here! There are parts on our bodies that we just "CAN'T" spray down with bug spray, or pull a tick from! The BEST ever medical advice I have ever gotten was from my 5 year old Sons, Pediatrician! He told me to give my Son a bath in slightly warmer water, & the tick needed to be under the water. He said that the tick should automatically let go on it's own because it's drawn to the warmth. BAM! It worked, without us even touching it! He also said if the tick did not come out on it's own in the water, then I could take my hair dryer & move it back & forth over the tick until it let go! This actually works better than the warm water! 😊

[@pinschrunner]

Where are you in Florida @Sue? I haven't seen any ticks in years but tons of fleas due to drought since Hurricane Ian

[@juliemcgugan1244]

Pls, pls, do not do anything that will irritate the tick, like using a hairdryer or warm baths. It may cause the tick to regurgitate the contents of it's stomach, including any disease it is carrying, into you (or your child.) Remove it as soon as you find it, by holding it as close to its head as you can, without pressing the main body and pull it straight out. The longer it is attached to you, the greater the chances that it infects you. This is because it needs to keep injecting you with saliva in order to prevent your blood from clotting and stopping it from feeding. A tick's saliva naturally contain anti-coagulants. In the past, it was less likely for a tick to be carrying disease. Nowadays, it is much more common for them to be carrying something nasty and their range has extended further due the the effects of global warming. What used to work and have few severe side-effects is now out-dated and unsafe advice! Ticks are found where they never used to be and in higher numbers. I know this and have seen it myself as a dog groomer. They are immune to chemicals that used to keep them under control. Many of the newer, 'more effective' products for pets are so toxic that they are killing and injuring dogs and cats. That should say something about the potency of the diseases these ticks are carrying. Prevention when going outdoors is better than curing the disease when you have been bitten and infected, but what you do when you discover the tick can also cut down the risk of being infected also. Pls do not use those methods, although you may feel they work to release the tick. You do not know if the tick is irritated and is pumping its stomach contents into you or your child before it lets go.

[@damissingpotato]

Here’s a quick explanation to why you should never use oil when trying to get rid of a tick - oil clogs up tick’s respiratory pores making it suffocate and when that happens it basically vomits and even when you pull it out, this residue stays inside the skin which may lead to serious inflammation and infections. Stay safe everyone!

[@soulless2169]

I usually strike a match blow it out and press it on the ticks back, they let go after a second or 2. Thats not making them throw up is it?

[@juliemcgugan1244]

@@soulless2169 Yes, this is very dangerous. Ticks can carry nasty diseases like Rocky mountain spotted fever, Lyme disease, anaplasmosis and more. Any irritant to the tick, including squeezing the main body, suffocating it or burning it can trigger it to push all of that nastiness, including disease, into you skin, which will then spread to your bloodstream. Pls do what this video advises. Remove the tick immediately using tweezers or your gloved fingers, as soon as you find it, by gripping it at the head, where it is attached to the skin, and pulling it straight away. Clean the area with some antiseptic and observe the area, in case later doctor's consultation is needed. Do not roll the tick, burn it, cover it in anything oily and do not wait to see if it will release by itself. The longer it is feeding on you, the longer it is injecting its saliva into your skin, to prevent your blood from coagulating and cutting off its all-you-can-eat buffet (tick saliva contains anti-coagulants that stop your blood from clotting.) Saliva that can also transmit diseases.

Heat helps. They will willingly release. Hot water, not scalding, but warmer than you. I have used a hot air hair drier. before going out on my farm, I wash with Adams Flea/Tick shampoo, follow instructions and wash away from your face with it. Spray down clothes with carpet spray, inside and outside, I again use Adams. Then I use skin spray for dogs and cats on direct skin. I do this since I had an infection from ticks. My Doctor had gotten Rocky Mountain Spotted fever and was out for two weeks sick, and he was still recovering the last time I saw him. Do not fool around with ticks, they will kick your butt. We have seed, lone star, deer, and brown ticks. Since I started spraying everything and washing with the soap, I have not gotten a tick. I treated main yard, around a deer feeder I own, and the shooting range on my back 9 acres. Treat each month, treat animals for them, wash, spray, and do what you can to avoid getting them. Keep grass cut short. Ticks don't like heat and dry areas.

[@madeleinesmal7614]

I'm from South Africa, we have a lot of ticks here...

Never ever pull a tick of of you, the moment you do that, you're squeezing, whatever "poison" remain in the tick into your blood stream... Most people don't know how dangerous a tick bite can be...

Biologist from Connecticut here (good ol' Lyme Disease Captial)! I do a lot of work out in the field bushwhacking around, and I've seen a fair share of ticks. My coworkers and I use these ingenious credit-card sized devices called Tick Cards to remove them! They're inexpensive (literally like five bucks), portable, and are very efficient at safely removing the entire tick without risk of the animal rejecting its stomach contents. They're also super educational, most come with a magnifying glass and a little pocket chart to identify the major species of ticks in North America (Deer, Dog, and Lone Star). For those who are worried about ticks or have a high risk of exposure to them like myself, I highly recommend grabbing yourself one of these handy little cards. Stay safe out there!

Alcohol on a cotton ball. Hold, gently, but firmly press and rub to make sure every side of tick gets liquid on it. After a few minutes, use fingers - (not tweezers, as they are too strong and might cut the tick, leaving mouth inside) - Gently pull tick off, usually mouth will come out after a few minutes of alcohol. Better to repeat process than leave mouth in. It can cause a terrible sore even if it does not fever.

Twist and pull is the correct way: ticks have "fangs" called hypostome, similar to the back end of arrowheads. They have several of these. Besides that, they have other parts of the body to attach to the host. They even produce a liquid-like glue to help them. So, simply pulling, makes the hypostoma tear thorugh tissue, causing for bleeding and damage. On the contrary, twisting allows the hypostoma thorns to ease a little bit that makes it easier to pull. If you leave the head, it can cause an infection and its still possible to pass diseases

As a doctor you should know not to pull on a tick. You have to make it uncomfortable enough that the tick chooses to leave on their own. A warm to hot pin can be used to achieve this but I recommend using a little salt water in a pill container, put the open end of the container over the tick and asphyxiate the little guy till he decides to leave then give him a chance to do just that. Pulling risks leaving the mouth parts or even the whole head in the body. Let the tick remove itself, don't pull.

[@megandeering8914]

I just go to the ER make them do it. Tick diseases are bad where I live so yeah. Also they can test the tick for diseases like lime disease and immediately start treatment.

[@bogoney]

Finger nail polish works great . They can't breath and back themselves out all on their own . Works every time .

[@mki441]

Actually makes them puke insidw of the wound

[@ONeil-S.D]

The "tick tornado" works perfectly 👌

[@jolielavey1769]

are they planning to cook it

[@joshuasayler2425]

In most cases, the tick must be attached for 36 to 48 hours or more before the Lyme disease bacterium can be transmitted. Most humans are infected through the bites of immature ticks called nymphs.

[@mellepasveer6173]

Disease are trasmitted by vomitting there stommic content in your body. So never stress Them out by obstructing the way to breath (they are breathing with there butt) or make Them feel pain like put Them on fire

[@joshua79802]

Holding a cottenball soaked with Rubbing alcohol for a little bit generally works too

[@nickstar166]

I get ticks all the time. Use soap. They come running out of ur skin haha

[@iz2333]

Don't use soap, you could make them throw up while they're still inside, which aside from being a very disgusting thought carries a risk of infection.

Getting ready for a deep fry with the oil and seasonings...nice!!!

Consulta xq no colocar aceite en algodon con sal incorporada y despues dejarla en el lugar donde se iba a quitar eso?

[@royrox5699]

When I was a child I once sat on an old Rock Wall kinda like a ledge or step in my Uncles Yard and was attacked by Seed Ticks. We used turpentine and do it with a shower, the ticks back out and you can wash them off with water, they will try to dig in again just had to do it as best we could I was only about 7 years of age at the time.

[@OCs_And_Stories]

Funny story: so my dad saw one was on me and the grabbed a bottle of liquor so it got drunk and let go 😂

[@sallythomas8599]

This is the best way to get rid of them, your dad was right

[@RatCityprincess]

Im stund that this doctor doesn't suggest the easiest way to remove ticks. We get a lot of deer ticks in our pets and occasionally a family member. Dogs, Cats, humans, if the end is exposed rub it in a counterclockwise circle using a finger. Do this for a couple minutes and the tick will back out enough to get something under it. Usually the ticks just fall out. This tip has never failed me.😊

[@ducky3545]

That's why I got tick spray and wear long sleeves boots and thick pants tapped around my boots stay safe and stay protected

[@beverlyt.5526]

I had five TIC bites in 2023, positive tics for Lyme. My Doctor sends the TIC to the Lab to be tested. Each bite i was treated with Doxycycline each time. I have 7 acres in the deep country here in Western Upstate New York and have a Creek on my property. We have a lot of deer, rabbits, fox, opossum, etc so it's inevitable. TICs live ALL YEAR ROUND, even in the snow and cold weather just waiting for a warm blooded host!!!! I just found a oil mixture which includes lavender that I'm going to make and rub on myself before working outside next time. I also am going to start wearing white jeans, white top, white everything so I can see them. Plus I wear my pants tucked into high socks then my high boots, ear covers and a hat but THEY FIND THEIR WAY IN!!!! My Doctor checks my Labs each year for Lyme Disease also!!!! It's scary!!!! Seems like they were worse in 2023!!!

[@IIZPII]

Deadass you look like Jeff Bezos

[@xpouii-3992]

Vinegar, they’ll let go. I pour it over myself in the shower so they get rinsed away-but watch out the little bastards will climb back outta the drain!

[@RonaiHenrik]

I'm not sure that's a good idea. Putting anything on a tick could cause it to regurgitate stuff back into you and that's how you get lyme disease (or any of the other few diseases cause by ticks)

[@unknown.existence]

Haha this is a good one ill sub to see more honestly got me with that i dont know what were making here... haha

[@flossyhamo9901]

I was blind drunk in the mountains here in Australia running round starkers naked anyway the next day I noticed I had a tick under my ball bag's 😀 but I just got tweezers and pulled it out then used tea tree oil to clean area 🤣✌️👍🇦🇺

[@canthole8050]

So many questions and yet I don't want the answers to, I hope your jewelry is fine after possibly rubbing freaking tree oil on a open cut?

[@Indiabalderstone]

I spend a lot of time in the northern beaches which is basically tick paradise something that always works for me is freezing it like a wart. Using a wart freeze spray or Band-Aid will work. Basically put the bandage on the tick and it will freeze it to death then it will prolly just fall off but if it doesn’t you can jsut take it off!!

[@truthseeker8475]

I found eucalyptus oil, mixed with citronella oil does the job. Soak a cotton and place it on or near the tick. Rub it on the tick gently if you will. Only be careful not to release access oil when the tic is in the ear or in any sensitive body part.

[@richardjohnson642]

Good choices

[@Aditya-wg3lp]

Are they tryna make salted ticks? 😭

[@mistriousnightmare]

me just snatching them out: 👀👀👀

[@MarcosGarcia-kx4rb]

You can get their head inside your wound and it will infect.

[@mistriousnightmare]

@@MarcosGarcia-kx4rb yes I am aware. Lmao bandaids lots of bandaid 🤣

[@ButINowant2Binfluencer]

Wear protective clothing Wear long-sleeved, light-colored shirts and pants, tuck your pants into your socks and your shirt into your pants, and wear high boots. You can also treat your clothing, shoes, and camping gear with 0.5% permethrin before going outdoors to kill ticks on contact. Use insect repellent Use an EPA-approved repellent with DEET on exposed skin, like your legs and hands.

[@paulhansen7667]

Light a match, blow it out and immediately touch the head of the match to the tick. It will let go right now.

[@demitriafallscon2732]

Does that work? No need to go to a doctor to get it removed just a match?

[@rileyallison3907]

Heat is not a good way to deal with ticks they can puke into the bite

[@joannejenkins9031]

I had been sick, not out of the house for three days. My daughter and her boyfriend were out for a hike/walk and she sat down on the sofa. I leaned over to put my head back on the pillow. All of a sudden, I felt something run up my back. I flew to my feet, and I asked my mother to look. I was starting to freak out and she was taking too long, I grabbed my cell to take a photo and yup, it was a tick. I was hollering by this point. So she grabbed some tissue and pulled gently. The movement stopped and I settled down. But over the next week, that spot on my back hurt terribly. I had a Dr's appointment by phone and by the end of my saga, he said, 'Yeah, you probably have some stuff left in there.' I am scared for life. Thank you my sweet daughter. ♡

@@mki441 don't say things you don't know about, you spread wrong information.

[@noname.7673]

Use flee-drops you use on dogs! Put it on a bandage and the skin. If you weigh, for example, 80 kilogram than use for 4 days an amount for a dog till 20 kilo. Don't go over your body weight!!! Always stay under!!! Wait till the tick is dead before you remove it. The flee-drops will kill the tick and also Lyme and other stuff it injected in your blood. I did this because a docter refused to help, and it worked!

[@reviewking4715]

I cant imagine getting bit by one of the ones that make you allergic to meat

[@matthowland1770]

A lot of these things are trying to try and get the tick to start to turn loose and make it easier to get the head and all. The salt is good for leaches, but I've never heard of using it on ticks before. You have to do it without making the tick sick and put more of the yuck into the bite, putting pressure and forcing more of the tick spit into the bite.

[@lori-reneesmith7502]

Hot tip: To safely remove a tick, grab a bottle w liquid in it. Put the opening of the bottle against your skin, surrounding the tick. Tip the bottle, or your body, to get the liquid against your skin, you have now cut off the oxygen for the tick. They will back out fairly quickly so have a little container to save the tick so it can be checked/documented. Clean the area well and cover with light gauze. It's far quicker than pulling them out or a hot needle burning them out. Both of those have risks. The thicker the liquid, along with the seal of a bottle opening, the quicker they back out.
