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 :(

Will sulfameth trimethoprim 800 be used for a tick or spider bite?
Sulfamethoxazole-trimethoprim (often referred to as Bactrim) is an antibiotic used to treat bacterial infections, not specifically for tick or spider bites. While it may be prescribed if a bite becomes infected, it is not a first-line treatment for the bites themselves. For tick bites, monitoring for signs of Lyme disease or other tick-borne illnesses is essential, while spider bites may require different management depending on the severity. Always consult a healthcare professional for appropriate treatment.
