The Acarology site at Ohio State University has tick information, guidelines for tick removal, and several good links. Their paper on tick removal instruments explains in detail how a tick attaches, including a tick bite video. The video is graphic and informative, but the file size is 23 MB, so unless you have a high speed connection it will take a long time to download.
