[quote=Anonymous]Our toddler had a tick in his chest a couple of months ago, and we went to the ER, where the doc took a cotton ball, soaked it in Palmolive (or some similar dish soap), and then proceeded to move it in a circle AROUND the tick, never touching the tick. Without once being touched, the tick backed itself out of our son's skin, and we disposed of it. The doc then gave my son a dose of antibiotic prophylactically (sp?), as they get so many ticks they don't bother to test them for Lyme any more, they just assume all ticks would test positive.[/quote]
