Can a tick burrow under a humans skin?
Yes, they do, I had one today. I could only tell because, when I moved the skin just right, I could see something black in the ultra tiny hole. The area around the hole also looked dark (maybe the tick or blood) and was sore. A tick will go in only as far as its mouth-parts are long. That is, it doesn't go in very far. If you pull the tick off and see black, that is mouth-parts left in your skin.
What happens when part of a tick is left in your skin?
remove it and go get checked for anything
How should ticks be removed from the skin?
There are many different ways to remove a tick and oil is one of them, but it isn't the best way to do it. You can either take your dog to a vet and have them take the tick out, or take a pair of tweezers (this is a two man job) one holding the dog as still as possible, and gently put the tweezers around the body of the tick and slowly pull straight out (DO NOT GO COUNTER-CLOCKWISE!) Be sure the head of the tick is still intact and if not then you will have to take your dog directly to the vets. Dogs generally get ticks around their nose area, top of the head and behind the ears, but it's mostly around the nose area. When my husband and I go camping where there are trees and bushes we not only brush our own hair and check each other out for ticks, but we do the same for our dogs and cat. DO NOT pull the tick straight out with tweezers! By grasping a tick with tweezers you can cause infected fluids to be pushed into your pet resulting in possible illness such as weils. You can take the dog to the vet and they'll remove it for you but you can also get really good tick picks from vets or pet shops which allow you to remove the tick yourself. Also dogs can get ticks anywhere on their body, mine is particularly prone to getting them in her armpits.
How do you get a tick head out?
Using tweezers remove the tick by grabbing the tick's head or mouth with the tweezers and pulling outwards gently. Place the tick's body in a jar. Wash the area of skin bitten by the tick with warm water and regular soap. If symptoms of rash, fever, swollen lymph glands and muscle aches appear go to the doctor and bring the tick.
Do you have to burn ticks to get them off of you?
no. you can pull them off but it will hurt like heck!!!!! Don't let the tick get embedded into your skin. It could have lyme disease! Put vaseline jelly on the body of the tick, it will let go.
Why does ink tattoo have to go your skin so far?

Can a tick lay eggs inside your skin?
No, ticks mouth-parts go underneath your skin but not their egg laying parts. The nymphs (baby ticks) hatch and seek a small animal such as a lizard or mouse as a host. Occasionally, the nymph will find an unlucky human and feed on him instead.
Tick Bite Treatment May Save Your Life?
Many ticks are so small you will not even notice them as they bite you. In fact, you may not even feel the bite from the tick until symptoms begin to occur. The unfortunate part of this is that some ticks transmit serious diseases, which can often go undetected for weeks after you are bitten by the tick. These diseases can severely impact the quality of your life and your health. When you suspect you have been bitten by a tick and recognize the symptoms, such as flu-like symptoms, fever, palpitations, shortness of breath, nausea, confusion, swollen and painful joints, numbness and even a rash, contact a doctor immediately to begin treatment. If the tick is still feeding off of your skin, there are a few things you need to know before you attempt to remove the tick. This treatment will not prevent you from contracting diseases that the tick may have, but it will decrease the chances. Common treatments include burning the end of the tick with a match or painting it with paint, nail polish or remover of some sort; however, these treatments for removal could cause the tick to secrete his saliva into your skin and transmit his disease to you. The proper at home removal treatment is to wear a pair of gloves and grab the tick with a pair of tweezers. Flip the tick over onto its back and hold onto the tick with the tweezers as close to your skin as possible. Pull the tick gently until it comes off of your skin; because its mouth and arms are barbed, twisting and turning the tick will only break these parts off into your skin, which causes disease transmission. Now that the tick is removed it is time to seek treatment. Depending on the length of time the tick was attached and the diseases that are common from ticks in the physical location where you picked up the tick, your doctor will provide you with a cream to stop itching, oral antibiotics for potential diseases and blood tests to determine whether or not you were infected with any type of deadly or dangerous disease from the tick.
