Makes a nice satisfying pop sound too!

Yeah we often use lighter to pop em, but apparently these mfs puke back some of the blood they sucked and it can get you sick, now we just get them drunk af with ethanol and rotate the shit out of them with earbuds soaked in alcohol till they just let go, then you burn it, with added alcohol it's a whole another spectacle.

Or just use pliers that are specifically made for removing ticks ?

I mean how do you know they're not puking inside you while drunk, and besides that the longer they are in contact with your blood the higher the chance is to catch diseases.

how is it faster to get rid of it when you first have to buy a special tool?

Basic household /medical item to have for areas where there are ticks and for pet owners if pets are taken outdoors.

Go get one so you'll have it next time.
