After having been bit by literally thousands of ticks along practically all
my life, specially between ages 17 to 50, without any visible problem
deriving from them, I got Ehrlichiosis from ticks in my German Shepherd dogs
in our last farm at age around 64, and it became chronic and invaded all my
organs due to misdiagnosis and almost killed me. I have it controlled (maybe
cured?) mainly through the use of EIS/CS during the year I have been a
member of this list.
Regarding methods of tick removal, I am familiar with several dozens of
them, of which I will mention several that gave results in each particular
situation. Sorry if some of these methods are not approved by the
establishment.
Ticks are of two types: hard ticks, or Ixodidae, and soft ticks or
Argasidae. I was mainly bit by hard ticks.
A) Adult ticks- After learning at a young age how to do it properly, they
were mainly and successfully removed by careful use of thumb and index and
their fingernails, our natural ¨tweezers¨. Metal tweezers were not normally
available out in the fields or woods or pasture lands, and if they would
have been I would have preferred our usual method. The sensitivity a person
develops out in the wild can not be easily surpassed by a mechanical devise.
I never got any infection or any type of problem doing it. Normally washed
with soap afterwards, or applied kerosene (excellent bacteriostatic,
wonderful first-aid product used for everything including burns, available
literally everywhere out in the countryside in my young days.).
If we found a tick that seemed it was going to be hard to pull out, we would
approach a small piece of live coal (none of us smoked, but a cigarrette
would do the same) without touching the tick, but close enough to cause it
great discomfort until it pulled its mouth parts out in order to move to a
beeter place. Another method was to put animal grease (like pig lard or even
butter) on them in order to loosen them up (difficulty in breathing). Never
tried petroleum grease or vaseline.
Whenever we had a tick in our hands, we normally crushed it between our
thumbnais, unless there were too many, and in that case it was easier to put
them inside a container with soapy water as we pulled them out.
B) Larval and nimphal stages- Very difficult to extract without leaving
pieces of mouth parts in the skin, more complicated due to the fact that
when we got these it was usually hundreds to thousands of them at the time,
covering sometimes practically all our skin. We normally would not do
anything until we got back to camp or farm house, then we would usually
cover the affected area, sometimes all our body except our head (they
normally do not like it) with kerosene, left it there for a while, and then
bathing and covering our body with a heavy soap lather for some five to ten
minutes, then rinsing and at the same time scraping with a flat edgeless
object to remove ticks that were relatively loose due to difficulty
breathimg throgh kerosene and later soap lather.

Here in the UK we have a little tool which looks like the 'foot' on a
sewing
machine. You just hook the 'foot' under the body of the tick and just
twist
Hey presto, the tick lets go and comes off intact without leaving its
jaws
in the skin. Dee

I'll try the alcohol thing next time I get a tick. I get several every
Year.
Doubtful, but worth a try.
Here's why.
Back in the forestry days on an herbicide contract in Alabama, we'd come
Out of the woods covered with ticks and scrape them off into a cup of the
Herbicide. [VelPar]
The carrier was pure Methanol.
Those ticks would walk around under the Methanol for 20 minutes. Amazing
Little buggers.
