carry a bottle of clear finger nail polish with you all the time . if you get a tick on you paint its ass with the f. p. to kill it . don't pull it out it can cause an infection that can f you up . i spent 6 days in the hosp. and had to have surgery to get the infection out
Modern method: tweezers. Some specially suited for tick removal.
You leave it in...problematic as the tick's mouth is it's muzzle and it's saliva is it's bullet.
