Use tweezers to firmly grasp the tick at its head or mouth, as close to the skin as possible.
Pull firmly and steadily on the tick until it lets go of the skin.
Swab the bite with alcohol or antiseptic.
Do not use petroleum jelly or a lit match to try to remove a tick.

Once the tick is off kill it by stamping on it firmly, making sure that it is actually squashed. If you are home you can flush it down the toilet.
