Tick release aid

A method in aiding the removal of attached ticks from human and animals hosts comprising:

• placing about one to two drops of a composition onto and immediately around a tick imbedded in a host, the composition comprising at least 25 volume percent of a citrus peel oil, at least 15 volume percent of a carrier fluid suitable for increasing the rate at which the citrus peel oil seeps into human skin or animal hide;
• and at least 10 volume percent an oil solubilizer suitable for increasing solubility of the composition in water;
• and
• pulling on the tick with tweezers for removing the tick from the host.
