You should avoid pulling, instead hold it with a tool and turn it. After about two or three turns it usually comes right off.

- nate_meurer 7y agoI've heard of such a tool, but never seen one. Otherwise, twisting a tick using tweezers or your fingers is a great way to break its head off under your skin.
- _Microft 7y agoThere are "tick cards", sized like a credit card with narrowing cuts which you move long the tick until it comes off. Also very practical. https://www.amazon.de/s?k=tick+card https://www.amazon.de/s?k=tick+card
- tacotime 7y agoI've started to see "Tick Tornados" in local stores in the NE US. Have not used one but they seem to get good reviews.
