What is really the best way to remove a tick?

Asked by ANef_is_Enuf (26839points) July 1st, 2011

I just learned that the classic methods of smothering a tick in Vaseline or burning it are not the ideal way to remove a tick. I’ve never pulled one out with tweezers before, because I always heard that was the worst method.

How the heck do I safely remove this little bastard from my dog? Now I’m confused!
