Always use the right tool to remove a tick.

If you use tweezers or rubbing alcohol you will make the tick spit the blood back in your sister with all the pathogens with it, this is what causes diseases.

With the right tool the tick is very easily removed with a very low risk of infection.

What if the tick bit my brother? Can I use tweezers then?

And properly discard of the tick so it cannot come back. Suggested methods are submersing it in strong alcohol, pulverizing it between hard surfaces or simply lighting the fucker on fire. The guide I've read spoke especially against stepping on them because the ground is uneven and your shoe soft enough to give them a chance to survive. Oh and flushing them down the toilet also gives them a good survival probability.

I prefer the fire approach, fuck those little bastards and diseases they carry. No one survives getting their ass heated to over a thousand degrees Celsius.
