Last two times found an embedded tick I failed to fully remove it. Ended up on an antibiotic course just to be safe once as the area around the head gets infected it kind of looks like a bullseye rash. Did save it the second time in packing tape folded over and came back negative for Lyme. I usually carry a tick key in the field which is a concave "V" that you drag across your skin and pinch the head to fully pull it out. Failed once though so I'm sure I can try out this method sometime this summer. Thanks for posting.
