What to do if you are bitten by a tick:Educate yourself
1. Use a fine-point tweezer to grasp the tick at the place of attachment, as close to the skin as possible.
2. Gently pull the tick straight out.
3. Place the tick in a small bottle or zip lock bag labeled with the patient's name, addressed, and the date tick was removed. Do not add alcohol or preservative.
4. Have the tick identified/tested by a lab, health department, or veterinarian.
5. Wash your hands, disinfect the bite site and the tweezers.
6. Seek immediate treatment.
