Bloody things, if you will excuse the language. They are a pain in the groin!! They like to attach themselves to wherever there is bodily hair and are prevalent in the bush. Removal is quite simple. Apply Methylated Spirits to the affected area, this will kill the tick (and you). After a minute or so, gently tug, using tweezers at the body of the tick, hopefully you will pull it out completely. If you break the body from the head, don't worry as the head will die anyway. Hope this helps
