It’s funny. I researched it and I could never find a good answer why you shouldn’t suffocate them with vasoline to remove them. All the articles just say it’s better to remove them ASAP even if you squeeze them.

Vasoline is not very effective and sometimes just results in the tick dieing while latched on.
