Ticks? I thought this was a birdwatching thread...


More particularly, when faced with them individually, I generally deal with ticks by dropping vinegar on them and then easing them off with a tweezers. Faced with the problem on my skipper's upper, inside thigh (don't ask!) on a boat a year or two ago, I substituted lemon juice - which seems to work just as well.

Collectively? Cover up.
