What to do if the tick's head has come off and remains in the body: be sure to remove it or it will come out on its own
The tick's head may come off its body and remain at the site of the bite if the parasite is removed using improvised means or is pulled and tugged hard in an attempt to remove it.
It is definitely not a good idea to leave part of the tick under the skin - leaving the head can cause suppuration.
The best solution would be to contact a specialist, but if for some reason this is not possible, try to remove the head yourself.
1. If the head is sticking out of the bite site along with a part of the body, tweezers will help you - use them to clamp the remains of the parasite at the base and begin to carefully twist it out.
You can spin in any direction, the main thing is not to change direction.
If you start turning to the left, then continue turning in this direction until you remove the parasite's head.
2. If only the tick's head remains under the skin and you can't grab it with tweezers, arm yourself with a needle and remove it as if it were a splinter.
Don't forget to disinfect the needle - with alcohol or by heating. After the procedure, treat the bite site with brilliant green or iodine.
