Replies on Ticks: Fear and Loathing and Lyme

Min pin mom, thanks for saying that... yes, it is Lyme disease, there is no plural, lol!

Annie,
I could not agree more . . . using fingers to remove a tick is dangerous. Fortunately, there is an inexpensive (under $5) tool called a Tick Twister that is hands-down the easiest way I have found to remove the ticks. Our local vet office has used them for years, and swears by them. In fact, all the vets around here seem to use them. If your vet does not offer them, they can be ordered on Amazon or Only Natural Pets. They are light weight & easy to carry so you are prepared on your walk with your pet.
