I suppose I'm a little late but yes! Save the tick in a freezer bag- nobody has film canisters anymore but when we were kids and got ticks in eastern Washington my grandpa would save them in labeled film canisters in case we showed symptoms of Lyme disease. Also, it is important that you twist when removing to ensure complete removal- some folks will blow out a match and place it on the tick to cause it to back out on its own to make sure no body parts are left behind. Ticks are awful, sorry you got one. They make you real sore too so I wouldn't worry about that unless the pain persists I is accompanied with redness, Swelling or fluid. Well wishes!
