My Tick Bite
69 Answers
...still hasn't popped. The infection has gone after taking the antibiotics but the tick head is still in there. I am bathing it with hot salty water and have had a go at squeezing it but all that happens is that the skin abrades and a clear fluid comes out. Yesterday, I resorted to a needle and tweezers but made a right mess and it's now very very sore sore.
Any suggestions as to how it can be drawn out?

Either a) leave it well alone and forget about it OR b) take some sterilised eye tweezers and dig it out.

Get a camp fire going.. Put your Bowie knife in the fire. Bite the cork out of your bottle of whisky and have a slug. Cut the bite with your red hot knife.
Suck the critters head out of the wound and spit it on the fire.
Drink the rest of the whisky.. You will be fine tomorrow.
It a always works on Telly !
