Ah, for the Good Old Days when a few tick-bites were just a minor part of Life! (And the best treatment was a matter of friendly argument -- IIRC, vaseline usually worked well, but if the head broke off & continued burrowing we'd just dig it out with a sharp-pointed pocket-knife blade (every decent knife had one good for this) and pour on a glug of alcohol. Mind you, this manifestation of the Do It Yourself Ethos fails in this era of Lyme Disease.)
