What happens here
If you find an attached tick, use a proper tick removal tool to slowly slide it over the tick and remove it without pinching, squeezing, or irritating the tick. This minimizes the risk of the tick regurgitating saliva or toxins into your bloodstream. After removal, assess the bite site for signs of infection or a 'bullseye' rash (which can indicate Lyme disease). If any concerns arise, promptly consult a medical professional.
Goal: Safely remove ticks and evaluate the bite area for complications.
