Won’t that just cut off its head and leave the parts behind? I thought that was the general problem with using tweezers.
Luckily we don’t generally get ticks but the last time I tried to remove one I completely screwed it up, so I always take my kids to urgent care to have it done. It wouldn’t take much for that to become ruinously expensive
I think the idea is to get the floss just tight enough to not slip over the body.
I have this mental image of you as a govt agent choking someone out with a wire and then years later as a civilian trying to remove ticks off kids. “Dang it, cut it in half again. Why does this keep happening to me?”
Pick up some of those plastic tick spoons. I ordered a three-pack real cheap and keep one in the truck and one in the kitchen.

That’s hilarious, thanks for the image! Not the first time I’ve been accused of not being gentle enough
