If you don’t have one, it’s important to be prepared by having a good pointy tweezers for safe tick removal in your home and car. You might want to try Bug Bite Thing Tick Remover, ProTickMe, or another pointy-tipped tweezer. Both of the ones linked are very reasonably priced. Keep the tweezer in a ziplock bag so you always have something on hand to securely save the tick in when you use the tweezers to remove it.
