So what is the correct way to remove a Tick do you twist the remove or just apply steady pressure until it lets go personally I twist the little devils out

Twist and pull. Although I'm sure I heard the method you described being touted recently as the better option.

Well 2 weeks backpacking / wild camping accross Scotland, 240 miles plus covered and not a single tick on either myself or wife decided not to use any chemical based deterrent just carried tick twister which was not used.
Be interesting to see if I get ticks again now I am back home.

what! I picked up 25 over 3 days around Mullardoch!!!Originally Posted by JohnK
Guess we got lucky our route took us from Oban - Stonehaven (I have a tracker trace of the route, I may put up when I get time). so the ticks had plenty of of chance, although not wishing to pollute the burns with soap etc we used a sanitiser for personal hygiene and just maybe the Ticks did not like it
Have to say I don`t envy your count of 25 though
