it will usually lead to infection, and sometimes fatal if un-noticed. but usually the pain will let you know pretty quickly, and you can get it removed
Your body will expel the tick head just as it would a splinter. I had a tick head in my leg. It fell out after three days. Deer ticks can cause Lyme disease, so if you feel sick soon after being bitten, you might want to see your doctor. Lymenet.org has a lot of good educational materials about ticks and the diseases they carry.

The tics head didn't come out when i tried to pull it out of my dogs neck. i only got the body now what happens?
Not sure if the tick's head will cause a disease or infection. The best way to remove a tick without pulling on it is to put a drop of olive oil on the tick. The oil will cause the tick to pull its head out as it suffocates.

Should you pull it off a tick from your dog's belly?
You don't want to pull the tick out because its head will break off and remain imbedded in your pet. The imbedded head is liable to create an infection. Pour a drop of olive oil, or other oil on the tick's body. As the tick suffocates, it will pull its head out before dying. I have heard that a drop of dish detergent also works, but I have never tried it.

First of all . . . never pull on a tick that is attached to an animal's skin. It can break off and leave the tick's head under the skin. If that happens, then there is a high risk of infection. A veterinarian should removed the remainder of the tick, and apply and antibiotic. He/She may decide to put the cat on a course of antibiotic tablets.

Cover it in Vaseline and it will suffocate or buy a tick remover!! You can grab them by the head and pull. Be gentle, because if you pull to hard, mouth parts can get stuck in you. Another method is to take a match, light it, blow it out, and immediately put the hot head of the match on the body of the tick.

How do you cure tick bites?
well, when a tick is on your skin, you immediately take a needle and light it with a match, then burn the tick/or use nail polish. If the tick has been in you for a day or so, it CAN'T back out. It has already glued its head into your skin. Burning it or smothering it may kill it, but won't remove it. You will be left with a dead tick barfing into your flesh. Use a tick remover or grasp it below the body at skin level and pull it off. The head will come out like a splinter does in a couple of days.
