I remember the one and only tick I've ever seen was when I was a kid. I found it on my thigh, half dug into my skin, when I was going to the bathroom. I started screaming bloody murder. I don't remember how my parents got it out, but I think it involved a lighter. It was pretty traumatizing.
They say not to use lighters and matches now. I remember as a kid we used matches, but now they say just to use tweezers and pull slowly and make sure you get the head out.
LOL I can picture this clearly since my 2 oldest children have both had one on the inner thigh and I heard the panic in their screams as well.
