Creature on face - what the hell?

As sick as it sounds, I returned to work and there is a small lump on my face and I scratched it and this small brown, thin thing came out (had to grip it in nails). About 1 cm long and was attached to like a clear part at the end. It didn't move and looked like it had been sucking blood.
Any ideas what this could be? It kind of freaked me out like a scene from a sci fi film.

have you saved it? if so put it in something and go get it checked out
I laugh it off, just really, really strange.....
There is a girl at work who had 'scabies' (hmm, nice place) but cannot be that?
they quite often latch onto dogs, but they can get humans too. they live in long grass and outdoorsy type places.
Now I wish it was just dried blood or something.
Comedy more than seriousness
ohemjee OMG, I was just about to say the same thing :yes:
Thing is ticks bury their heads in and kind of hang off and their bodies fill with blood, they don't bury under. have you been abroad recently?
I know the botfly larva grow under your skin.
Best way to remove a tick... Lit cigarette on its ass.
Now I want to get ticks. Justs so's I can remove their ass!!!
Only if you let them get big enough.
I've had hundreds of ticks as a kid, infact I had one under my arm last summer. Living where I do with all the wild animals its not hard to pick them up. Cover them with vaseline and they soon drop out whatever their size. :yes:
