For a few weeks in the spring, we diligently check our little ones for ticks, because they get ticks embedded in their skin more often during this time. I learned a new trick recently, changed it up a little, and I’m so excited to share it with you! I wetted a cotton ball and applied our homemade, non-toxic soap to the cotton ball. Then I placed this on the tick and gently rubbed the soap onto it until the tick came out. I have done this three different times in the last few weeks and it worked well every time.
