What happens if you remove a tick with your bare hands?
What happens if you remove a tick with your bare hands? Other Pet Discussions
My neighbors dog had so many ticks on him. I felt so bad and started to remove them. I did not wear gloves or used tweezers. My first instinct was to remove the tick. I then squashed the tick. Put peroxide on the infected area than washed my hands. I read that you must wear gloves and to put the tick in alcohol to kill it. Someone told me that if you squash it, that won't completly kill it. Just tell me if I did not do the right thing. I already know that next time to use gloves. What else?
