That's a good question. Most sources say you should remove the tick immediately, probably with tweezers, being careful to get the head as well as the body.
If the tick has not yet started sucking blood - it isn't swollen - then removing it can prevent the transmission of disease. On the other hand, if the tick is already swollen with blood, removing it won't prevent that. One source suggested that the tick will eventually drop off on its own.
Ticks need a blood meal in order to reproduce, so the best reason to remove the tick is to kill it, preferably by immersing it in alcohol, so that it doesn't get to make babies!
