You dig the pin *under* the tick and pry it loose.
I have some little plas-tick crowbars that work well....like nail pulling hammer claws....but I couldn't reach this one with that.

How quickly must ticks be removed?


As soon as possible, but disease transmission doesnt happen right away. When the tick bites an infected mouse, lyme disease organisms (coiled bacteria called spirochetes) move to the ticks intestine and go dormant. Spirochetes can live this way for years waiting for a new host. When the spirochetes detect the fresh blood, they wake up and multiply rapidly. The ticks gut is soon packed with spirochetes (which is why you dont want to squash that tick). Finally, the spirochetes move to the ticks salivary glands and into the new hosts bloodstream. This process multiplication and migration to the salivary glands, takes time at least twenty four hours and often longer, so rapid removal of ticks should offer a measure of protection.

I have heard that when a tick dies still attached that it regurgitates upon death (if attached) and you want to pull them off by surprise so the toxins don't go into the host.

No bullseye rash?
Just checking.
I'm sure you were full to the brim with your CS, right?

   I had one dug into my back where I couldn't reach it with anything but a
hard stretch and a Q Tip.
Thought....gee VVR did great on the GFs dog mange mites, why not a
tick?...and tried it.
  Dabbed some on the sucker and waited an hour, then wiped him with a
butter knife edge...came right out DOR [dead on removal] and none of the
usual after itch...just a small reddish spot that went away pretty fast.
