So many 'old tales' about removing ticks that are totally inappropriate. Any aggravation of the tick will cause it to inject it's toxins. That is why you don't use vaseline, oils, soaps etc. Similarly, tweezers or tick removers also create a problem by squeezing the toxic contents of the tick...
My wife and I are planning a very slow walk in September/October 2015.
We have walked 4 days from NSW Central Coast (2013) to the Sydney Harbour Bridge
Then 4 days from Cronulla to the Sydney Harbour Bridge (2014) as a bit of a taster.
