Bob don't know about liquid parafin, but if you cover them with butter or marg' to stop them breathing they loosen their grip. |

Reminds me of two years ago when my wife and I were walking through a wood in Virginia USA. A sign said "Beware of Ticks and Snakes". |

Coincidentally I was just reading the information on the site below, which I found while looking for something else. |

Thanks for that Liz, it occurred to me yesterday that my knee problems 'may' have come on since I had what I thought was a mosquito bite, but looking at the pictures I'm wondering if it was in fact a tick bite. Might get it checked out. |

Oh Rose, I hope if it is you can have treatment which will ease your knee problems. |

You can buy tick removers from a vet, a veterneary chemist, and I'm sure I have seen them in Boots too. |
