I felt something crawling on my neck after a visit to the theater and was prepared for it to be just an over-active imagination, but it felt resilient when I picked it off and also crunched a little bit, and was about the size of a not quite sharp pencil point--so I brought it home and looked at the pieces with a digital microscope. It's definitely crunched, but there are disturbingly buggy pieces that look like legs.
Here is the larger piece

I spent weeks, hundreds of $$ and exposed my family to probably carcinogenic pesticides getting rid of a tick infestation a few years ago, I'd prefer to hit this sooner rather than later if it's needed.
