If you find a tick attached to your child, follow these steps: 1. Use fine-tipped tweezers: Grasp the tick as close to the skin’s surface as possible. 2. Pull upward with steady pressure: Do not twist or jerk the tick, as this can cause parts of it to break off and remain in the skin. 3. Clean the bite area: Use soap and water or an antiseptic. 4. Dispose of the tick: Place it in alcohol, seal it in a bag, or flush it down the toilet.
