that, if a tick has bitten you “The best thing to do is to take a pair of pointy tweezers, get as close to your skin as possible and grip the head area of the tick and then pull straight up, steadily but not with a jerking motion.”
“You don't want to break any parts of the tick off into your body, which could lead to other infections, but you do want to get it out of the skin. Once it's out of there, you can put it in some rubbing alcohol or into hot soapy water, anything that you want to do to try and kill it.” Experts warn against pouring alcohol on a tick, holding a match head to the bug and other unconventional methods.
“When you do that while the tick is feeding on you, you are agitating it, and you're increasing the likelihood that it could sort of regurgitate into you. And that could increase the likelihood of disease transmission happening," Larson said. Larson also previously told USA TODAY that if you find a tick on your shoes or clothes that has not bitten you, you don't need to worry about the bug transferring pathogens.
