When I saw the dark red tick, I was in a silent panic, and luckily, I could remove the tick (although I used my bare finger which is a big no-no), and the pink area around the tick went away. I had to go to the emergency room; and I was there from 6 to 8:30 PM. The doctor says that it doesn't look like the tick was not on my body for that long, so I probably was not infected with anything. However, he did tell me to see if anything happens over the next few days (e.g. fever, aching, etc). If that happens, then I should contact the hospital again. I'm 23 so I think I'll be alright, but I don't know.
One of a few things can happen:
I may not have been infected.
I may have been infected with Rocky Mountain spotted fever, which if not treated can be serious and occasionally fatal if not treated. Symptoms happen after 1-2 weeks.
I may have been infected with Lyme disease, which is potentially fatal if not treated. Like Rocky Mountain spotted, symptoms happen after 1-2 weeks.
In the meantime, I just have to hope and pray and watch how I feel. Most likely, nothing happened, but I've got to do what I hate doing most with these sorts of things: wait and see what happens.

"Neutrality helps the oppressor, never the victim. Silence encourages the tormentor, never the tormented. Sometimes we must interfere. When human lives are in danger, when human dignity is in jeopardy, borders and sensitivities become irrelevant."
