When you notice that a tick has attached to you, you should get rid of it as quickly as possible. First, you should drown the tick by covering it with alcohol or Vaseline. Wait about 10 minutes, then carefully apply a piece of adhesive tape to the tick, creating a kind of fold. Use the adhesive tape to remove the tick. Be sure to hold the head firmly, which the alcohol or petroleum jelly will help you do.
4. Quick Bandage
If you are injured and do not have a bandage on hand, start by first applying a piece of clean gauze to the area. Then apply a piece of tape to the gauze. This will seal the gauze to your skin and prevent outside bacteria from entering until you can treat it properly.
