OP here
So they shot me up with numbing local, lidocaine-epinephrine, and extracted it. Took about 15 minutes to extract. Does it normally take that long, or was the doctor probably unfamiliar with the best way to remove a tick? I tried asking for tick removal tips so I can do it myself next time and they didn't really have any recommendations other than to come in again. Looks like I'll have to youtube some good methods.
Looks like it was one of these guys who done me in, western black legged tick.
