Another way to get a tick to release is use alcohol.  Swab the
tick with rubbing alcohol (say with a Qtip) and it will back
out.  Although this method is not foolproof, it is the best
first try when heat is out of the question.

Re: heat.  An open flame is not necessary.  Try a just extinguished
wooden match, touched to the back.
