To safely remove a tick that has attached to your skin, avoid grabbing it by the body. Instead, use a plastic card with a V-shaped notch to carefully grasp the tick by its jaws and pull it out completely from the skin. This will help prevent the tick from breaking and reduce the risk of infection that may occur if its contents are released into your body.
