what is the first aid method to remove an imbedded tick?
press a hot match, needle, or paper clip to the area
apply rubbing alcohol to the area.
use tweezers to pull the tick away from the skin.
apply petroleum jelly to the area.

Explanation:

For the first question about chemical burn first - aid:

• High - pressure water can cause more damage.
• Clothing and jewelry should be removed (if safe) as they may hold the chemical.
• Neutralizing the chemical without proper knowledge can lead to more reactions. Flushing with water for 20 minutes is a standard first - aid procedure for chemical burns.

For the second question about removing an embedded tick:

• Pressing a hot object (like a hot match) can cause the tick to release more pathogens.
• Rubbing alcohol and petroleum jelly do not effectively remove the tick. Using tweezers to pull the tick away from the skin (pulling straight and gently) is the correct first - aid method.

Answer:

For the chemical burn question: immediately flush the area with water for 20 minutes.
For the tick removal question: Use tweezers to pull the tick away from the skin.
