The Jamming Radar section on p. 264 of the core rulebook has more details, but here's the gist: A jamming bullet in you causes a -30 to all your communications, radar scanning, and so forth. You can make an Interface test (opposed) against the jammer bullet (which has a rating of 30 for its skill, effectively). Basically, the target rolls an Interface test and the bullet rolls to oppose it.

I also assume you can just take your hand, your knife or your utilitool and just physically remove the bullet. It shouldn't be too hard, it's not like they penetrate or anything.
