We have a pair of those tweezers and OH is very good at twiddling the horrible critters out.

On our first holiday together Graham decided to paddle in the water that had collected at the slate mine/thing at Ballachulish and ended up with a tick in his leg. We went to a chemist at the Kyle of Lochalsh and the pharmacist said to dab the beastie with TCP and it goes 'EEK' and falls off ;D ;D
