Annoyingly I have removed ticks off me everyday for over a week! Flipping tick central here in the strongest tick season. We have used all the systems that we are aware of and for us the tick twisters are the safest and only consistent method. Cheap as chips, we have a pair (one is small, one larger) in each car, first aid kit and one upstairs and one down stairs..
Please don’t pull them straight off, high probability of leaving the head in you, please don’t do anything that might squeeze them, high probability that anything in them (the bad stuff) will be squeezed into you.
If ever in a tick area, well worth checking yourself but some are so small you won’t notice till they’ve dug in and you begin to feel an insect bite like feel, my experience is this is a day later.
Never used a plaster, really wondering if putting one in a bag would be useful?
