Uh dude...I'd get that shit checked out. And, if you snap it out like that, it's head is still stuck in your sack...you plucked off its torso and abdomen, but its mouth is still in your sack. What you should have done is taken some tweezers and taken it out. Either way, go to the doctor asap.

Reminds me the episode of House involving tick paralysis. That was kinda creepy.

I have a funny story related to this.
A buddy of mine (let's call him Jack Schwartz) went to the Naval Academy which involved a large number of activities including various training in areas where ticks are plenty. It was routine for everyone to take time to check for ticks after training exercises. Well, after one of these exercises, my friend went to the head and started checking himself for ticks. He was alone at the time. After being satisfied that he had no ticks in any visible area, the thought crossed his mind that maybe one managed to get somewhere in the general area between his sack and ass crack. He decided that the best way to check was to get on the counter which had the usual sinks and mirror, drop his pants, turn around, and bend over to look between his legs at the mirror. Well, just as he bent over, one of his commanding officers stepped in and immediately yelled, "SCHWARTZ! WHAT THE HELL ARE YOU DOING!?!?" Jack then snapped into Attention as quickly as he could while standing on the counter and naked from the waist down as he replied, "SIR! CHECKING FOR TICKS SIR!". His officer then replied, "I see....carry on" and then walked out.

even tweezers can cause the head to stay in. you should scrape it off (with like a CC or such). Also save the tick to have it checked.

Keep an eye on the location, early signs of lyme disease is a ring around the bite area. I got lyme disease when I was a kid, I played in the woods in central Florida too much I guess. I had to take some antibiotics and it went away pretty fast. It only becomes really bad when not caught early.

Yes - if you didn't remove it correctly, there's a variety of bad things that can happen. Go to a minor emergency place or a dr office if you're in your home town.
Well then, I'm gonna go wash the area really well.

Thanks - gonna keep an eye on my sack. My physics teacher junior year had lyme disease - he says he always feels really tired and crappy from it.
