A friend was talking about ticks today. What is the best way to remove a tick if it connects to you?

I might recommend using a tweezer, rather than pliers, to remove a tick safely.
assistant
And then just pull it straight out?
user
Yes, that is a safe technique. But if it’s too difficult to see or is too embedded in the skin, or you’re afraid of pulling too hard, you can also place a flame or hot steam against it to make it come out more easily.
assistant
Oh. That might make it come out on it's own. That would be better.
