Except for a case of the heebie-jeebies, nothing. Ticks take hours to dig in to the skin where they drink blood and regurgitate harmful bacteria back into the skin. See the link below.

How do you get rid of ticks and fleas on your dog?
If you find a tick on your dog/cat, you should light a match,
blow it out, then touch the tick with the blown out match, that way
it will let go of your dog's skin. Then you can pick it up with a
tissue. After that, bathe the dog in a flea and tick shampoo.

Asked in Animal Parasites, Ticks and Mites
How should a tick be removed if one attatches itself to you?
Take a match and light it and or heat up a piece of metal, wait
a second and blow it out. Very quickly touch the back of the tick.
The heat will cause the tick to back out as far as it can. The head
and or teeth of the tick will still be connected. You take your
finger tip and thumb and squeeze the back and underside of the
tick. Slowly pull it out, it takes a little work but it will come
out.

Asked in Arachnids, Ticks and Mites
What happens if you don't get all of a tick out?
The head will remain inside, and it is very likely that it will
actually plant tick babies inside your body. You would have to go
to the doctor and remove it; don't try and pry out any part of a
tick that is still in your body.
