If you own a dog or cat (or any other animal that can get ticks) get some Tick Sticks (e.g. http://www.amazon.com/Dr-Mercola-Tick-Stick-Removal/dp/B005N7O6RI).
There are various designs, but they all work in the similar principal of hooking round the base of the tick and then twisting it out of the animal.
Burning off the tick may cause it to disgorge its blood meal back in the animal. Pulling the tick off by hand is likely to leave the mouth parts of the tick in place. Both are liable to cause infections or cause the tick to spread disease to the animal. Using a proper tick stick will remove it without a) leaving the mouth parts in the wound b) shocking the tick and causing it to disgorge the blood back in.
