To reply to the group, use "" ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ This morning I got a call from a mom who said she had found a tic on her child and tried to remove it. Part of the tic stayed imbedded in the child's skin. Mom said she was unable to grasp any part of the tic body with small tweezers. They were visiting grandma 4 hours away and I was trying to think of someway to help them without having to make an ER visit out of it. Any suggestions? Kim Burlingham, MD
