Mrs. Drax actually read this post to...Thanks, All.<br /><br />Mrs. Drax actually read this post too...and was pleased. She calls them 'vampire beans' as they suck blood and look just like...well...beans.<br /><br />I like the idea of 'tick hooks' although my stomach did turn a little as I wrenched the blighter out. The Vaseline's an interesting idea too - thanks!<br /><br />Mrs. Drax was worried about the blue smear that came off with the tick, but we were relieved to realise it was in fact the ancient paint removed from the tweezers by the surgical spirit!Admiral Draxhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07476823273954165890noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5898341582574934477.post-5734024375862720162010-06-09T22:11:36.891+01:002010-06-09T22:11:36.891+01:00We have a supply of little green question mark sha...We have a supply of little green question mark shaped 'tick hooks'. These are great and actually unscrew the little blighters.<br /><br />Another trick is to smother them in vasaline. Ticks breathe through their skins and this suffocates them, causing them to cease their parasitic feeding in order to begin grooming. I've always had tick hooks to hand so I've not really ever tried the vasaline trick but have been assured that it works.<br /><br />And your picture does look like a Tyranid (shudder).Zzzzzhttp://www.devos4.blogspot.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5898341582574934477.post-57978680665721974022010-06-09T13:53:12.307+01:002010-06-09T13:53:12.307+01:00Way to go killing that 'nid!

Whe...Well crushed sir! The Emperor would be proud.<br /><br />When I was at school someone told me that if you try to remove a tick and the head stays in then you'll die...<br /><br />At first I thought Cadfael was looking down-in-the-dumps because of his cone.
