Some recommend using tweezers being careful to avoid squeezing the tick, which would cause it to inject its stomach contents into you; however, others are now recommending aerosol freezing sprays or ether-containing sprays that instantly kill the tick. This approach is recommended by the Australasian Society of Clinical Immunology and Allergy (ASCIA) for those with a known tick allergy. Since Australia contends with a tick that causes a severe allergy to red meat, they are recommending the ether sprays which will not disturb the tick, thereby lessening the chance of it injecting more of its allergen-containing saliva.
Dr Cameron Webb, a medical entomologist at Westmead Hospital and clinical lecturer at the University of Sydney, has been looking into the various methods of tick removal and thinks we should all be following the advice of ASCIA, which recommends killing the tick in place by using ether-containing aerosol sprays that instantly freeze it (although some of these are not registered for use in humans). He suggests some over-the-counter products for freezing off warts may work.
Wartner may be the perfect fix. http://www.wartner.eu/uk_en/warts-and-verrucas/treatments/wartner-wart-verruca-remover/
