Three of us squeezed in to a one man tent on Jura helping one of the three remove a tick from an inaccesible place using a blunt needle gave rise to the immortal and inevitable comment 'now you may feel a little prick.....'Quote:

[QUOTE=Baggins;324830]As someone who has had at least a 100 ticks in him (I'm not joking :() I've found the best thing for removing them a thing called the Trix Tick Lasso I wouldn't use tweezers, easy to leave the heads in plus squeezes the stomach contents into you or cover them with oils/alcohol as they regurgitate the contents into you.
Very easy to use they don't even try to hold on
I suspect the little blighter's know I've got it as I only got a couple last year instead of the usual 20-30 QUOTE]
Way way back after the LAMM on Jura, sunbathing on the beach (waiting for the ceilidh to start, we extracted dozens of the wee blighters from from my brothers legs, groin and back:( Then when he got home his missus found quite a few more in the areas I refused to check :eek:
Well if he will insist on running naked and rolling in the undergrowth :D
