[QUOTE="nvts, post: 173106, member: 3814"] We take a cotton ball and pour alcohol on it (rubbing alcohol). Then you hold it on the tick and the tick backs out of wherever it's attached. Just as an FYI, when a tick is totally engorged, there's a hole in its back end that it breathes through while its head is embedded in the dogs skin. That's why the hot match, nail polish, alcohol work. DO NOT USE THE HOT MATCH WITH THE NAIL POLISH SOLUTION OR THE ALCOHOL SOLUTION!!! You don't want a flaming dog (with a tick still attached) running around the house!!! Good luck! Beth [/QUOTE]
