What is the BIC treatment?

Wash with Lysol soap (diluted) for seed ticks, or if you don't have any, slather with any oil. Skin So Soft or cooking oil. Then wash that off in the shower. Careful not to slip and fall! Got this from a SIL, a retired nurse, she did this on her kids.

The Bic treatment
 
Vaseline to cover the tick and your skin area. Keep it covered with Vaseline and will eventually suffocate the tick. The head will come out with the body.

If he gets them, my son rubs deodorant (several times per day) on his seed ticks. He said it kills them and helps the itch.

Never heard of this method, but it sounds like it would take too long. Ticks can transmit some diseases in as little as 15 minutes.

Same here! Ticks can survive just about anything, including being flushed down the toilet or swallowed by a chicken, so I like to roast them until they're powder. Probably a little extreme, but I don't like taking chances.
