Don't want to break this fricker's head off in me. How do I get this sumbitch off of me?

Strike a match and put the head of the match on it after you blow it out
Seems like I've heard this works somewhere

How to remove a tick
Use fine-tipped tweezers to grasp the tick as close to the skin's surface as possible.
Pull upward with steady, even pressure. Don't twist or jerk the tick; this can cause the mouth-parts to break off and remain in the skin. If this happens, remove the mouth-parts with tweezers. If you are unable to remove the mouth easily with clean tweezers, leave it alone and let the skin heal.
After removing the tick, thoroughly clean the bite area and your hands with rubbing alcohol, an iodine scrub, or soap and water.
Avoid folklore remedies such as "painting" the tick with nail polish or petroleum jelly, or using heat to make the tick detach from the skin. Your goal is to remove the tick as quickly as possible--not waiting for it to detach.

light a match --> extinguish --> Immediately put on ticks back = tick falls off

Well nevermind then

Pull it off. Matches, Vaseline, etc can make it dig in further. Good luck!

Dr told us before he suggests a credit card edge

He's really small - a tad smaller than the head of a match stick. If I grab it with tweezers, I'm just going to smash it because it is so small.

I can pull hair out with tweezers. Why can't you remove a tick with tweezers? Are you challenged?

Obviously I can pull it out with tweezers, but my goal is to remove him whole, not leave his head in my skin. Was looking for a way for him to back out.

This. I spend a lot of time in the woods and have to remove a few dozen ticks each year. If you catch them early, they pull out easily...if they have "set up camp" pull with slow, steady pressure.

dude think of all the blood he's sucking out of you the longer you wait.
