Remove the tick with fine-tipped tweezers by grasping the tick as close to the skin as possible and pulling upward with even, steady pressure. Do not twist or jerk, which may leave the head of the tick in the body. Essential oils should not be used to cause the tick to back out as doing so may cause it to regurgitate its stomach contents (including bacteria) into the person.
Apply 1 drop of lavender or melaleuca (tea tree) to tick bite every 15 minutes for the first hour, and then hourly for the next 4 to 8 hours.
