Default Don't bite the ticks off your dogs

From a November 2003 article in the Journal of the American Veterinary
Medical Association, on the fatal transmission of Rocky Mountain spotted
fever from two dogs to their owner: "One man in Mississippi contracted
Rocky Mountain spotted fever when he killed ticks he had removed from
his dog by biting them with his teeth. This may seem unusual," the
veterinarian-authors wrote, "but we have since encountered other persons
who claimed to kill ticks by biting them." [Journal of the American
Veterinary Medical Association, 11-15-03]
