Does Your comb, or brush, keep having those greasy, grayish, fuzzy little lint balls accumulate at the base of the bristles?
I might be wrong about this indicator. However, I never had this problem before my Morgellons became severe, and when my treatment really kicked in, the problem also stopped. Yesterday, I needed to fix my hair, and went to pick up my husband's comb. (He claims to have no symptoms, although I can sometimes feel them on him.) I quickly put it down, when I found it full of gray lint at the base of its teeth. I had washed it out under hot water only 2 days earlier, because I noticed that it looked like he hadn't been cleaning it lately.
Oh boy, what next. wonder how long it will take before he actually shows symptoms or starts believing this is real. |
Dear Dr. Beverly...Since my symptoms started, Sept 1st, (though I know I have really had this much longer), I have seen a lot of strange things, and lint and fuzzballs seems to be a big part of it...In the beginning, when I was trying to figure out what I had, it seemed that I had Norwegian Crusted Scabies, because of all the symptoms, but then I would get thrown off track by seeing something else that did not fit, like these little fuzzballs or peices of lint that I would find attached mostly to the furniture, and it had a black bug of some type inside...I read that the pupa stage of the flea would attach itself to furniture in a peice of fuzz or lint and was hard to vacuum up, but needed to be pulled off of your couch or seat in the car...sometimes vigorous vacuuming would get it...but you could not kill them while in this stage by spraying pesticides, that it would not penetrate the lint, and they could lay dormant in there for yrs...you had to pull it off or wait until it emerged into an adult flea and spray again...(don't know if you were supposed to call it to find it then or what..)'
Then, I also started finding these other fuzzballs that were molded into something, like an animal or bug or worm...they were full of worms...or even a little piece of lint, that contained some microscopic worms...I am told that there is an amber goo that is really sticky that Chester gets all over a lot of stuff that she even has a hard time getting off until she uses vinegar and super washing soda(baking soda type) or something...kind of wonder if that could be in the comb...or brush...just an idea...that if you have a mini pocket microscope from Radio Shack, which has mag of 60x and 100x..., and see if that is what it is...
I don't know if you saw what I posted about finding a replica of a crocheted angel that hung on my vanity mirror, lying directly below it on the dresser, made of nothing but green peices of lint or fuzz...It was about an inch and a half tall, and had arms, wings, head with hair and halo, and also had a gown and the only thing that wasn't a peice of green fuzz, was a little peice of white thread, looped in just the same place as the other ornament hanger was. It also had a face on it, and I felt like it was a gift left for me, or it was just to let me know that they were still there...makes u really wonder...as if they had a brain...Kentucky haze
