If a tick is found biting and embedded in the skin, it is best to go to the hospital to have a doctor handle it. When unable to go to the hospital, you can apply alcohol on the tick. If alcohol is unavailable, apply Luofu Mountain Herbal Oil, ether, kerosene, turpentine, or snuff oil on the tick's head, or light a mosquito coil near the tick to "anesthetize" it so it loosens its grip; or apply liquid paraffin or glycerin thickly on the tick's head to suffocate it, relax or kill the tick's head, then remove the tick using pointed tweezers. Do not pull forcibly to avoid leaving the tick's head in the skin. After removal, disinfect the area with iodine or alcohol, and monitor your condition. If fever, inflammation, ulceration, or rash appears at the bite site, seek medical attention promptly to diagnose possible tick-borne diseases and avoid missing the best treatment time (and remember, never rinse it with water when bitten).
Alternatively, you can spray the whole body with Frontline spray—must be spray—at 6 ml per kg body weight. After the tick dies, remove it and apply povidone iodine or iodine locally.
For prevention, remember to spray your dog monthly with topical antiparasitic medication; Zhongbo Lǜyà, FleaStop, and Frontline are all suitable.
