The cigarette on the tick's butt, it's useless. After they get their heads in, their feet won't touch anything but air. When I was a kid I had one in my armpit. My brother tried the hot butt trick, only made my armpit smell like an ashtray. Just pull them out straight, no digging or carving, unless you like pain.

A Quote from another site I scribe to. To many posts from folks all over the country to many to quote that have FAR WORSE tick problems than we and they use the same method for the cigarette removal. the reason being is that the riping out of the tick will make it throw up under your skin and thats when you have problems with getting sick. What ever methods you use its good to get them out before they make you sick.

Quote
Use a lit cigarette and hold the hot end close to the tick, just enough to make it uncomfortable for him but not close enough to burn yourself. They will release you and back out on their own, which you MUST do with ticks.
Do not as one person here said and try to get them off with a credit card, or any other method of forcing the tick out physically. They attach themselves by their mouth parts and if they get broken off in the removal process it will most times cause an infection.
This also works good for blood suckers, leeches, etc.


Just another opinion from a source on your side of the removal

When I had that tick removed, because of Rocky Mountain Spotted Fever in Kentucky in the '50's, they took me to a doctor. He just put tweezers on it and pulled it out. I use fingers for my dogs, myself, and a spooked out wife when she gets one on the North Coast of CA. Throw up? Really? You trying to send me to the engine room for a left handed monkey wrench? Crap, here in this state, it's probably illegal to smoke in the woods. Ticks have rights here in Governor Moonbeam's state, just like illegals. LOL I need to move.

I used to love the "Honk if you're horny. " handwritten notes on windshields..... I got flashed more than Cledus Snow when I'd train horn some crazy girls on the interstate, especially in my old '85 Pete. :-laf ... ... ... ... ... ... 'course, that ended when I got married, too..... :eek: ... ... mostly... :D These days, it just makes me want to get home that much more... ...
 
When we first got married the wife would want to go truckin with me :rolleyes: I would give some lame excuse but she insisted so get in!!!! Drove from So Ca to N Ca (Redding) dropped off some asphalt roofing drove across the OR. border to Grants Pass for a load of OSB for ID falls. She went to sleep somewhere in the process Dropped the OSB and picked up Shale slabs in Pocatello ID for Denver. She came out of the sleeper and asked when are you going to sleep. I told her the weekend looked promising but got to get to Denver and unload and reload at a iron place we picked up at. A pickup truck pulled up next to us full of HOT AND I MEEN HOT CHICKS (like im not going to look im a truck driver its required) She got P***** BIG TIME didn't want to sleep didn't want to eat put the music on some kind of CRAP just to P*** me off. Got to Some hole in CO and took a sleep. Got up and did the coffee and sweet roll thing (that P**** her off) and started driving in CO some guy came up in a Caddie and was just HAMMERIN ON HIMSELF. I looked at the wife she said what another one NO HONEY THIS ONE'S FOR YOU!!!!!! she stood up and took a look and OMG THAT'S SO DISCUSTING WHAT A PERVERT WHAT AN A HOLE .

Big- Believe it not, it's my iPhone. There was no other reason to carry it as there was no signal. Now I will say that it's only as good as the effort you put into it. My Daughter was using her iPod (same camera) at the same time, and her pictures look like they were taken through a glass of water. Oh well.
 
Thought ya mite get a kick out of that Wayne. My Son is a tech. nut his phone takes really good pictures it will do so many things its nuts. I use my phone as A PHONE!! But like me he cant get any use of it out here.

Washed DOWN the canyon with the rest of the ice and debris and ended up becoming a HUGE TERMINAL MORAINE (that I dont have a picture of) at the bottom of the canyon. And it formed a blockage that is now called St Mary's Lake Glacier National Park. Don't take it as the gospel but the lake is like 9 miles long and 300 ft deep lake. SHE'S A GOOD LOOKING LAKE IS SHE NOT!!!!!!!! You can tell that it was glacier action that formed it because of the bowl shape at the bottom and sides of the canyon. The outlet of which YOU DONT WANT TO GO SWIMMING IN!!!!

Just an interest of mine Im not an Engineer or rocket scientist but like to know how things happen and why. If you go to National Parks and USFS parks the rangers there WILL BEND OVER BACKWARDS to explain their passion to you and attend the ranger talks. I use to think that they were for the old folks that cant get out. But there is so much more to the parks than just the grandeur. As for the book part I dont think so I cant spell without spell check and even then its questionable. I dont know how to write in the most understanding way. But I do like to take people out so they can see first hand what I like to see in the world. AND MOST OF THE TIME THEY LOOK AT SOMETHING LIKE THIS AND NO WORDS ARE EVEN SPOKEN!!!!

I got words :D



It's amazing how those pines (I call em pencil pines, because of how they grow to a slender point) grew to perfectly line that river/ creek. The best lanscape guy would be hard pressed to match that... Reminds me of a tree lined street in the older neighborhoods.

Just inside the trees is an entirely different world that ya just dont see from the road that most visitors drive by on. Get out and take a walk just a mile or two and its a TOTALLY DIFFRENT place. My Sis and Bro came out to camp with us they got here 4 days early so we loaded up everyone and drove to Glacier Nat. Park for the day. Ahhhhhhhh just so you know the best landscape guy in the universe DID LANDSCAPE THE PLACE

Ya the woods are some of my most favorite hunting memories. I got my first or second ELK after gettin hooked up in the wife's family in woods like the picture with a Thompson Contender 14 or 15 in barrel in 338 woodswalker. (444 marlin case necked down to 338). We were passing the deep woods area and heard an ELK bugle I was off and pulling out the contender. FIL looked at that gun and asked WHAT THE HELL KIND OF CONTRAPTION IS THAT!!!!!!! got to figure this is like 35 years ago. He and BIL and wife just stepped into the woods. I asked (you had to do that then) for them to stay put. I crept into the woods about 50 yards and shot the ElK FIL told the wife you better watch out for that guy there's something very strange about him:-laf OK SO HE GOT IT RIGHT :D He asked later how long I had bow hunted? I cant stand to hunt with bow it's not humane to me JMO he said you stalk like a bowman. Ya I guess the jungles of VNam will make a guy do that BIL were instant Pards and have been sense he pulled LURP's patrols in VN he's ULTRA SNEEKE QUITE. Hunting in the woods make me just vibrate can see every bug on every leaf of every tree and bush mind just buzzzzzing talk about the best DRUG IN THE WORLD ITS ADRENILEN AND IT ALL NATURAL AND ORGANIC :D
