tick questions and ID

I'll try to make this short.

I went to a park. I got infested with dozens of little tick larvae (and one or two nymphs) I plucked them all off after a couple of hours of them being stuck to me, but since they were little the tweezers could only grab them by the abdomen. I looked at them under the microscope, took pics, and at some time or another I accidentally squished the cover slide and this shimering cloud of white appeared... so of course I thought it was only blood... but then I saw that it was tiny little wrigling things... so I don't know what it is now. could it be sperm? they sure have a lot! lol. Because of the quantity I didn't think it was sperm... although the size is about right. It can't be the lyme disase bacteria since they were larvae and the cloud of white was way too concentrated.

so... anyone have any idea?
