Tick removal, based on years of research due to living with tick borne illness' the current word is get the damn things off as quickly and completely as possible.
Any smothering or heating with match simply puts them in stress and the release a plethora of toxins into their host - so they say, tweezers, get as close to surface as possible, remove quickly and then inspect to ascertain whether or not complete body has been removed.
This is for all hosts (and yes, I wish I knew far less about these horrible pests).
