Are they serious?

My sister in Missouri has 3 dogs and they have ticks on them all the time. They use the match/lighter method to remove ticks.

I'm thankful I've never had one on my dogs, bugs freak me out, I'd loose my mind if I had to touch on to get it off.

Yup, grew up with the match / cigarette method, saw my Dad do it many times on our dogs. No one in my house smoked, Dad had to beg cigarettes from neighbors -- or matches, as we didn't have those either.

Light the fur? GAH!!
