Abstract: Ticks adhere to the host skin outdoors. Methods for tick removal without causing skin damage are controversial, and surgical excision along with the skin is mainly performed. A 6-week-old infant who lived indoors with a family cat contracted a tick bite. Tick killing before removal by injection of carbocaine into the tick led to successful removal without damaging the skin. This method can be useful for preventing damage to the skin during tick removal. A pet that roams outdoors can be a transmitter of ticks. We should be aware that this risk of tick bites can be hidden indoors.
