Using a fine point tweezer and pulling the tick out with a "to and fro" action is the correct way to remove ticks from the body. This method ensures that the tick is completely removed, including the mouthparts which can remain embedded in the skin if not removed properly. It is important to use a tweezer with a fine point to grasp the tick as close to the skin as possible and avoid squeezing or crushing the tick. The "to and fro" action helps to loosen the tick's grip on the skin, making it easier to remove without leaving any parts behind.Rate this question:
