For Tick Bites Back in the olden days, we used to use a poultice of milk and flour to draw out the infection. We used about a 3/4 inch ball it should stay moist for 8 or 10 hrs. Perhaps you have used them and know more about it than I do. Hydrogen peroxide should do a good job of cleaning it first. Just a home remedy you might like to try. Unc.
