    Thanks for posting this. I've been freaking out about this exact situation today. I screwed up trying to remove it early this morning in a panic cause I hate blood feeding bugs with a passion. However I think it was attached for about 24 hours or but I'm not exactly sure. No itching but it was very painful this morning.

    I really appreciate this video. I popped something that might be an ingrown hair or might be a tick on the back of my head. I wasn't sure how deep in dookie I was but it's a relief that it's not a huge deal

      My doctor said it's the body encapsulating bacteria and part of the tick that didn't come out..
      It's the body's way of keeping infection from spreading 😊

    Ok good. I ripped the tick apart while removing from my cat. I thought it would still infect it tho

      It's always better if you can get the whole thing off if you are able but avoid causing damage/injury to the area is better.

    When removing a tick, should you take antibiotics afterwards for precaution?

      ​@@ONIThaPOETusually your body will simply push the foreign object out on its own, but sometimes instead the body will actually try to encapsulate it. That might have been what happened, his body may have also just overreacted

    One is in my nieces head thanks to my father's 8 little ankle biters. Everything else is gone except for the head 🤦🏼‍♀️

    What if it made big pop sound and there's no "guts" or whatever? Doe the mean the contents are in the skin?
