DO NOT try to burn the tick off, apply petroleum jelly, nail polish or any other chemical. Any of these methods can cause discomfort to the tick, resulting in saliva release.

Swab the bite site with alcohol to disinfect the skin.
Alcohol will not make a tick back out.
None of the methods described will make a tick back out.
Do not twist the tick or rock it from side to side.
If part of the tick stays in the skin, don't worry.
It will eventually come out on its own.
