This is why they recommend you check for tick immediately after being in an area prone to having them (woods, trails, etc).
Sounds like you've done everything and got it off quickly.
Some deer ticks are only pin size and look like a TINY freckle. And it's the smaller ones that seem to transmit more diseases, but I don't know why (just what I've read).
