Ew. I've picked ticks out of my cats' skin but never had one attached to me.
As for the question, a circular red rash around the bite is a symptom of Lyme disease (it will appear in a few days usually) but ticks can carry other diseases. If you get fever, flu symptoms, headache muscle or joint aches or muscle weakness within a week of the bite, it's best to see a doctor ASAP. Also, keep the tick with you so it can be studied.
