Isoprophyl Alochol.  The fumes are suffocating and the tick lets go on its on 
overcome with the smell so there is no danger of the stinger being left in the 
skin and getting infected.   That can happen when the tick is yanked out.

       We use a cotton ball soaked with a little alcohol.  Just place it over 
the tick and the tick will let go immediately.

      **** Are you referring to Isoprophyl Alcohol -- or booze?  MA
