Easiest tick extraction is to get a q-tip and petroleum jelly. Dip the qtip in the jelly and swirl the tick. It will back out and die as the jelly suffocates it. Iāve done this many times.
The biggest risk with this method is if they are engorged donāt use it. They will spew back in and you will definitely want antibiotics then

That might have just scared me into ditching the flip flops and shorts for boots and pants when I walk the dog. Find them on him once in a while always early on so easy to pluck out, found one on my white shirt not long ago. Not sure if Iām more scared of Lyme disease, no more red meat, or having to pluck one off the balls.

I cut it out, for the most part. 
The pharmacist said the same thing only to just use soap. I guess it suffocates it as well.

It isnāt painless either, but way less pain than cutting the head out.
The things you learn after becoming a surgeon.

Dude, I had a severe case of West Nile virus about 12 years ago. Brain and organs swelling. Insect borne illness are not to be taken lightly.
