The head of the tick will not spread disease, as the tick's stomach, which contains the bacteria, is no longer attached. There is no pressing need to remove the tick head, and your body will expel it like a splinter. Contact your health care provider to find out what care, if any, is indicated in your area after removing a tick.

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.

A vet will also remove a tick for you.
