To remove a tick, use tweezers to gently rock the tick loose. Do not jerk or twist. Mark the date on the calendar if you are bitten by a tick. If flu-like symptoms appear within two weeks, see your doctor and be sure to tell the doctor about the tick bite. You may need to be tested and treated for Lyme disease or Rocky Mountain spotted fever.
Honeybees leave their stingers in the wound and die after stinging.
The stinger sack can continue to pump venom into the wound until the stinger is removed. Do not use tweezers to remove a honeybee stinger because they can squeeze more venom into the wound. Hornets and wasps can sting multiple times.
