 Yuck!
I just found this info:
This skin irritation is due to the irritating and destructive tick saliva. It is not due to the tick losing its head, literally. Do not be worried about the tick head staying in; it rarely happens. This skin irritation is due to a reaction to the tick saliva.
I believed this to be true but didn't want to toss facts without checking first.
