" What to avoid
Do not try to:
* Smother a tick that is stuck to your skin with petroleum jelly, nail polish, gasoline, or rubbing alcohol.
* Burn the tick while it is stuck to your skin.
Smothering or burning a tick could make it release infected fluid into your body and increase your chance of infection."
