Di you turn it clockwise or aunty-clockwise?
We have to get rid of em every now and then off our dogs.
Read recently that the only proper way to get rid of em is by using a sort of hook thing and twisitng it, as even with tweezers there is a risk of squeezing the blood back out of them and into the dog, or you, if it's on you. And that the Lymes disease etc comes when the tick delivers saliva into the wound. Which it normally don't do until it has satiated itself. Or if it is squeezed!
I allus used to put a drop or two of white spirit on it to make it give up its grip but that too is frowned upon now!
Every day is a school day.
