I had a dog that got ticks all the time. They got really fat to the point where they can't walk anymore. They will stay on there till it dies. You really should get it removed. A tick will definitely drain enough blood from you to feel dizzy - there's absolutely no way.
You can take a match and light it and then blow it out. Before the match cools burn the tick. It will naturally pull it's head out and then you can remove it.
Another way is to get some peanut butter and cover the little guy. They actually need to breath air and cannot survive if they are suffocating. The tick will make it's way out after a little while.
Here's a site that shows how to get rid of a tick on an animal. It's another way of doing it, but what ever you do, get rid of it - they are blood sucking parasites and you don't want them on you.

To get rid of ticks. You may have to have someone look at the tick and verify what type of tick it is. =) Their are different types of ticks so they sometimes come out different ways! I personly woudn't recommend tweezers because you can pull the body of the tick out but you might still have the head... THe head can make you ill. If you don't think you got all of it then go to some one like a doctor or someone who can get it out. Again this is all what I will recommend. Do what you think is right! And be careful! =)

Well, if you have a tick on you then you need to remove it pretty fast because they can make you really ill plus go to your doctor and find out what type of tick it is because some can kill. If you look up online it tells you hows the best way to remove them but don't use tweezers because if it pops the tick will infect your blood and thats even worse.

Well actually they stay on. To get it off you need to make sure to take off it's head soo...... I recomend ya go to a docter! Don't let it keep sucking your blood or you might lose concience and you will lose A LOT of blood which is bad and ticks take a long time to get full. So hurry!!!DONT WAIT TILL IT FALLS OF DONT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

First off the question was will a tick stay on you and the answer was yes. You will not lose consciousness from a tick. Theadult human body holds approximatly 10 pints of blood. I seriously doubt a tick will cause A LOT OF BLOOD loss. You can however become ill from a tick bite but that was not the question.
