How to Remove a Tick

If a tick is removed within 24 hours, the chances of it transmitting Lyme disease or other infections are less.

Safe tick removal methods:
  • Method 1: Intradermal Blister
  • Method 2: Straw and Knot
  • Method 3: Tweezers
  • Method 4: Tick-Removal Tool/Kit

Not all tick removal methods are safe. Certain removal methods may increase your chances of contracting Lyme disease.
