Just spent the last 1/2 hr removing a tick super carefully with local anaesthetic spray and two knives- where the hell were the tweezers?!
It all came out, so pretty happy about that.
Sliced it in half, and put it down the trash compactor... hope that killed it.
Rudy is fine now, albeit with a decent sized hole in his leg.

Just not the way I'd planned to spend my 1st night back, but at least its done.

I would highly recommend getting one of these http://www.otom.com/how-to-remove-a-tick

Much easier and safer to remove them.
Pop the tick in a jar of alcohol/solvent to kill them.

Soooooooon.

That looks awesome- will be buying.
Tick was definitely dead when disposed of.

MissMouse; oddly, this is something I saw yesterday in a field near where I grew up

Fenton?

^^ Oh wow!

You spotted that the white bike is a Storck Fenomenalist?

Lap ruined. Nearly as bad as a box of tacks on the top of a Col.

omg

don't you just stub your lit fag on a tick to make them pull out, i.e. not leaving any bits inside the wound / bite ?
thats how we did it in africa

Have some adorable street fluff from Morocco.
The gf would have adopted them all.

And you wonder where the ticks come from?

A pair of tweezers works fine - just grab the head parts and make a clean pull.

The dog lives in the UK.
There was no touching of cats in Morocco.

So you took the ticks from the cats back to the UK to put on the dog?

Naturally.
What the heck do you bring as souvenirs?

I find that crabs are often a welcome gift.

^^ Baby cats!

Great colours in that photo Henners.
