if you remove a tick within 24 hours the risk of lye disease transmission is low

there is a right and wrong way to remove ticks

inspect your body for ticks after being out in the tall grass

Use clean, fine-point tweezers to grasp the head as close to the skin as possible and slowly pull straight out.
Try not to twist or squeeze the tick. Ticks firmly attach their mouthparts into the skin requiring slow but firm traction to remove them.
If the mouthparts break off and remain in the skin, remove them with the tweezers. If you're unable to remove them easily, leave them alone and let the skin heal.
Wash the bite area with soap and water or an alcohol-based sanitizer.
