Summer's coming; be prepared for ticks

What happens if a tick burrows into your skin (or even a pet's skin)? There are some specific precautions that need to be taken to safely remove that tick, as it's not just a "grab and pull" operation.

Want to know some specific tips on removing that tick should you find one on somebody? Sometimes, surgical precision is needed (among other things), so be sure and review this checklist. Commit it to memory as well, since you may just need to use it this season.
