#1 Just follow these steps:
Note: do not Touch tick barehanded!
You just need good quality tweezers, paper towel and a pair of gloves. With the tweezers, get the tick next to its mouth where it is actually sucking your skin. Don't pinch the tick on its body or stomach, that way it will only release more saliva and blood in your organism. Take the tick out gently, place in a ziplock bag and freeze it.
When the tick is removed now, clean the area with gentle soap and mild warm water. In case a rash appears, or headache, flu or joint pain several weeks after the tick, see a doctor right away.

The worst thing that could happen is difficult breathing or anaphylactic shock! If this happens, immediately call medical help!
For most tick bites you won't have to go to a hospital. However, if a tick gives you a disease, it is better to seek medical advice. CDC made a list of 15 diseases of ticks, including the Rocky Mountain spot fever or Lyme disease.
There are many alternatives for prevention to avoid these bites. If you want professional tick removal, see the local Ehrlich branch and learn more about tick and mosquito prevention from bites.
