What Happens If You Flush A Tick?
If you flush a tick down the toilet, it may end up surviving in the sewer system or water treatment plant. This could lead to potential exposure and spread of tick-borne diseases. Additionally, flushing ticks is not an environmentally friendly solution and can harm wildlife and aquatic ecosystems. It is recommended to dispose of ticks in a sealed container or bag, or to kill them by drowning in rubbing alcohol or crushing them.
