Lombard has it right....just gently pull them out.  All the other "cures" just make them puke their stomach contents into you, which caused the inflammation and infections.....at least that's what I have been taught.

I hate ticks.

Our WalMart has it.   Dana, a friend's Dad is an entomologist and did the studies on Permanone(the active ingredient in it) and said their main problem was getting it weak enough and a safe method of use so it would still kill the ticks, chiggers, etc and not harm humans.
  If you hang your cloths on the cloths line and spray them down well, let them dry for 15 to 20 minutes you can wear them safely. Since I started using Permanone I've never had a tick when I used it. The effects will last on your cloths for quite a few days and even through a light washing. You could treat all your cloths before you come to the Classic and not worry about it while there.

Dane, keep an eye on your tick bites. If they start getting a bulls eye redness about them go to your doctor. The North and North East has a pretty bad Lymes disease problem.

 I can buy all I want at the feed store. We can get in in Gallon containers and mix it ourselves and put it in spray bottles. I found two cans when I was in Texas, but used one up at Pappy's last week.

I know the two I picked up at Pappys last year were some little Bears....one took 5 months to heal and quit itching....the other still hasn't quit yet...whenever I sweat...it gets inflamed and itches like mad.... I am a firm believer in Permarone now......  >:D
Do I need to tell them about the one you were talking to in the tent when the lady walked through our camp.

We don't see many ticks up here, a good thing.  Still I was looking at a neat little tool for removing ticks at a hardware store just yesterday.  Made of plastic and looks a bit like plastic tweezers.  The instructions said to grab the tick by the head and twist counter clockwise

Keep an eye on those bites.  I got bitten a couple of years ago and didn't know it.  I ended up with Erlichiosis.  It was the worst sickness that I've ever had.  I can't tell you how bad it makes you feel.   Man do I hate ticks.  My kids are trained for the 2x a day tick check one spring and summer arrives.  Ticks are really bad around here this year.  I'm guessing they are enjoying the warm spring as much as we are. ;D
