They are bad down here in NC this year. I have pulled out at least 3 and found another few crawling on me.

My removal: Swab with rubbing alcohol (they seem to hate it) and then with tweezers, I clamp down their head right at the skin. I pull gently as to not rip them apart. And swab the heck out of it again with alcohol just for a peace of mind thing.
