Always be wary of what you read online
The Internet is full of different content and information. Plenty of which is not always necessarily accurate. Therefore, whenever you are looking for medical help or tips on the Internet, make sure that the advisor is a person whose advice you can trust because they have a demonstrated background of medical experience. For instance, a video of a woman went viral after she showed how one can get rid of ticks using peppermint oil. However, there is a catch.
Sure, using peppermint oil or other such substances may get rid of the tick for the time being, but there may be undesired repercussions to the process. Using such substances may force the bug to feed on your skin before it comes off; therefore, it increases the chances of contracting a viral infection which will be even more dangerous.
