It was crawling on my neck. I grabbed it and pinched it but it didn't die. I put it on my desk and slammed my fist on it but it didn't die. I stabbed it with a sculpting tool but it didn't die. Its in a blister package now. Anyone know what it is? Its like 1/5 of an inch... maybe 4 or 5 mm in length.

Oh feth, didn't mean to worry you, let me elaborate, he got it by eating meat from an infected deer, unless that tick's been there for a while (which it looks like it hasn't given its size) there's little chance of you getting it methinks...
regardless, I'd wash the area give it a good disinfecting...just to make sure...
Fire, only reliable way to kill them. Their irritating little bodies are impervious to being smashed, I jumped on one with my weight going onto my heel which it was beneath and it continued to function as though I had done nothing

I'm not sure where it was feasting... I felt it crawling on my neck so it must have been done and was going to sleep in my hair.
It probably hadn't yet, when they do start they bite you, get to a vein, and start drinking your blood, which causes the normally flat body to expand with your stolen fluids. If it was still crawling around then odds are it was looking for a puncture point

If it was done eating, you would have killed it with the sculpting tool. Covered your desk in your own blood, too.

Cool beans... it definitely didn't explode into blood when I did anything to it. I just hope there isn't more. I think I picked it up from work... either from my walk around the complex... or from the office cat...
disturbing. its pretty obvious its a tick. take a good shower and put your clothes through a washer and a dryer if you can. that should kill anything left...

It is a tick and it has not bitten yet, it would still be attached until it had its fill. They do not go for veins but bite the skin. My dog gets em on occasion, if they are on for a day or two they get big like a bloat thrall. Really creepy.
When I was wildland firefighting we would have them on us all the time. I never had one bite me but always felt them before it got to that. Nothing brings a burly man down to size more than him finding a tick on himself. Funny thing is is when one person finds one then everyone gets the heebeegeebees!
