No, but you will probably get an infection around the bit that's left (like when you get a sliver under your skin)

No, it is not true,unless you remove the head you might get an infection at the site depending on the type of tick.

It's possible that is why they say to make sure you get it all or don't try pulling it.
If the head is completely buried then DON'T PULL IT.
Cover it with a gob of vasaline and then keep the dog from licking it.
The vasaline blocks off the the ports that give oxygen to the tick so in time the tick has to back out.

the body doesn't grow back..but if the head remains, it can easily become infected...when you remove a tick you should light a match....blow it out...touch the hot match to the tick and they will let go

all the recommendation that's incorrect. If the top broke off attempt to get it out with tweezers, such as you may a splinter. Then sparkling the section with cleansing soap and water and disinfectant. If the top continues to be no longer out basically save it sparkling and look ahead to redness that gets worse. that is an indication of a secondary an infection. pass see a doctor then, for anitbiotics.

No not true. However the head is the part the spreads lyme disease so you HAVE to remove the head or else you can get lyme disease.

no - but the wound may get sceptic if left untreated. Use something to remove them and crush them when they fall off instead.
