GOOD TO KNOW! Tick Removal:  A nurse discovered a safe, easy way to remove ticks where they automatically withdraw themselves when you follow her simple instructions. &quot;I had a pediatrician tell me what she believes is the best  way to remove a tick. &quot;Apply a glob of liquid soap to a cotton ball. Cover the tick with the soap-soaked cotton ball and swab it for a few seconds (15-20); the tick will come out on its own and be stuck to the cotton ball when you lift it away. Please pass on.
