Lil' help with ID - tick body in antler?

[Stressless]

So, cleaning up my buck to do my skull cap mount and came across this boney knot. It is the exact size and shape of a engorged tick. Wondering if anyone has come across similar protuberance of bone that seems like it could be a calcified tick body.

As you can see it's almost clear, not like the other bone. Its probably just a peice of bone but feels cool.

Looks like just another burr to me, maybe got shined up from rubbing. Although a velvet antler seems like a great place for a tick, I don’t think the tick would calcify. Maybe the head would be embedded, but not the body?

Seems normal to me. Otherwise this dude would've been sucked dry, lol.

Yep I'm going with a really polished up burr
