Tip: ticks breathe through their backside, the side sticking out of your skin because their head is buried in your skin and sucking your blood.

You have to be careful pulling a tick out because if it's head gets cut off and remains under your skin it can cause an infection.

So, the best thing is to cut off it's breathing and it comes right out of your skin. Take a match, light it and then blow it out and really quick hold it next to the ticks body, it should pull out then you grab it with tweezers.

Or you can use rubbing alcohol which plugs up it's breathing pores in it's epidermis and it will come out to breathe.
