Well if you guys want to dig I'll suggest areas of interest that I have not had time to fully address, now that I've redirected my efforts in the proper direction I feel more confident about what I think the fibers really are, this is a very big factor to address I could certainly use more data to reiinforce the position. I personally think they are exactly what I thought in the very begining, sponge spicules. There is loads and loads of information on the internet regarding sponge spicules, spines, tentacles, and anchoring rootlets, also maybe stolons, and i know there are other terms used to describe things made by the sponge that could explain the fibers, remember you will not find exactly what you would like to find because there is no data available that addresses the differences one might find if the sponge were restrained within the human body so temper what you read with logic.other areas of interest would be chemical composition, inducible morphology, microscopic images, boring sponges, anchoring rootlets, try throwing in the word blue into spicules and tentacle searches. good luck. I had went as far as developing a spread sheet to compare the chemical composition of various sponge spicules to the chemical composition of the morgellons fibers that dr hildy had tested and it's a pretty solid case, but I don't think i have that anymore and if i do it's buried somewhere,


Also now that I've opened the door for the possibilty of all at least two of the three organisms, the sponge, hydrozoan and bryozoan, being in the same place at the same time, in other words the hydrozoan living inside the sponge, the fibers could be the hydrozoan's tentacles, anchoring rootlets, rhizooids, bassil fibers, or stolons and the blue pigment is somewhat better explained by the hydrozoan over the sponge, atleast in what i was finding.
