Or, more likely, cause them to burrow in deeper.

a lit cigar on my bag? I'd rather not.

It will certainly cause them to release more saliva and increase your chances of infections also. 

 

I've had one on the ol' ball bag too, there is no good way to do it, they all hurt. 

I was wondering how many would actually take me seriously about the cigar since I didn't put any smiley faces in that post...

 

Anyone dumb enough to do that deserves the permanent brand that would result!  LOL

Burning a tick off is a very common removal method, so it wasn't far fetched for anyone to think you were being serious..

I have always heard of heating up a safetly pin and sticking it in their rears.  Causes them to back right out.  That being said, I have never tried it.  Everytime I have been bitten, I just get tweezers and pull out slowly, trying to get as close to the head as possible!

I tried bleach on a cotton ball, rubbing alcohol, the hot pin. Nothing worked so I ran out of patients and get the tweezers.

ive head them stuck to my head hidden under my hair and everywhere else before. never gotten sick from them or anything. even been through a bed of them seed ticks, i was wearing shorts. had them all in my shoes and socks and a bunch on my legs.

 

my mom got bit by one and got lyme disease. had to go through a bunch of treatments. it really affected her joints and walking. she had a tube inserted in her arm that she had to hook a bottle of medicine up to everyday for like two weeks i think.

That wouldn't make ME back up!  Ouch!

I go to tractor supply. In the horse section I buy a product called permethrin 10. I mix that 1oz to 8oz of water in a spray bottle. Shake it up, spray it on all my outdoor clothes and then let it dry. Its good for about 10 washings and the bottle is actually enough to make at least a gallon mixed.

 

Its mandatory here, I hunt turkeys and mushrooms. You go in the woods without it and youre leaving with ticks. With my mix, nothing. Im actually doing my clothes tonight, saturday opens the turkey season.

You are not supposed to burn a tick, they will vomit in your body and then thats when you get in trouble.

Works for dogs and yards too.

I mistyped that, its 1oz to 24oz of water and yeah its made for animals and yards specifically, not hunters lol. I posted that original formula on a national hunting forum years ago and I still to this day get pm's about it.

It is actually the main ingredient in scabies/lice medication.

Obviously the pin wasn't hot enough.
