A tick bit me and it hurt?

The best way to remove a tick is to use tweezers and pull slowly until the tick lets go. If you pulled the tick to hard you might still have a portion of it embedded in your skin. You need to see a doctor immediately and have the bite site checked. Also, deer tick carry Lyme Disease. There is a only a small chance that you caught it since you got the tick off right away, but you should still get checked.
