I am replacing the dry wall in my bathroom. When I remove the old dry wall, I saw this thing on the stud (see attached picture). Initially I thought it's termites damage. But it's hard/solid. What could this be? Do I need to do anything before putting on the new dry wall?

At first I thought this post was going to be about Havasu, and yes, he's damaged (bionic)...

The spot appears to be a knot with some sap that has leaked, if the wood surrounding it is solid, I'd never worry about it again.
 
Thanks a lot for your feedback. Now I can finish my project with peace of mind :)
