They hurt a LOT! I just pulled a tick out of my leg this morning. I discovered it because it hurt. It has hurt the entire day. I don't even have to touch it for it to hurt. It hurts without touching it. Touching it does not make it hurt more or less. It is red, no bullseye. My husband and daughter say the tick too big to be a deer tick, so my tick is probably a dog tick.

The bite is on the back of my upper hamstring. It hurts kind of like a bee sting does after the initial sting (not as bad as the sting) without the throbbing. I tried Neosporin with pain reliever, but it didn't work. I'm going to try Acetaminophen next.

Update: I just found my tick on the web. It is a female deer tick :(

Yes, ticks have such an infectious bite that pus will start gathering to heal the wound.

because the mouth of the tick has chemicals that are released into your skin after biting you

They bite for food, not for protection.
