1. Remove it the recommended way - plenty of advice on the internet or from your doctor..
2. As there is no way of telling what they carry just by looking at them I would go to Igenex.com and fill out their test order form and send them the live tick - in secure container, complete with some damp cotton wool and perhaps some grass to keep it alive and comfortable on its journey and following customs rules, whatever they may be.
3. Go to my doctor and get a 3 week course of antibiotics for my son.
4. Wait for tick analysis results and then take appropriate further action - be very happy if no infections present.
Ticks are not something to mess with. They can carry more than one infection, eg Babesia, Bartonella etc. If you or your child does get one - do see your doctor.
