Low-light removal (head-torch, UV trick to spot the tick)

A 200-lumen head-torch and a quick UV scan turn a black-on-skin needle-in-haystack into a routine pull.

Steps

schema.org/HowTo

01
Put on a head-torch so both hands are free; aim the beam at a glancing angle to throw shadows.
02
Sweep a small UV flashlight (365 nm) over the skin — many ticks fluoresce a dull green-yellow against skin.
03
Once located, switch back to white light and confirm the tick under magnification.
04
Grasp at skin level with fine-tipped tweezers and lift straight up.
05
Mark the bite with a skin pen so you can find it again in daylight.
