Wow,,I dont know how I missed this thread,,but all of this,,is WAY too familiar..
This is the exact same kind of thing that was/is going on in my warehouse..
I do believe now that this is how I got infected also,,,exposure to these webs.
I am now wondering if the strongyloides co-exist with the wierd spiders I had all over too,,living amongst the silk,,and physically changing the structure of otherwise nornal silk into the crap I videoed..
Maybe spiders are just a victim,,turned carrier,,after the spraying for fall army worms by my neighbor,,via airplane..
We never had any problems here until he moved here,and started the arial spraying..
There is a video,,(rense,,I think),,where it shows growth of a web,,in time lapse..
It just grows out of nothing it seems..
Well I have that goin on here(in warehouse),,sometimes a single strand of web (5 feet long in some cases) drop ,overnight from the ceiling and anchor to something below.
I have seen strands ltterally lift itself up,,and attach itself to what I call a dangler.
A dangler will then be pulled up in a horizontal position,,and attach to a beam.
And THEY MOVE!!! especially at night...They spin,,gyrate,,and heave at times..
I have seen the blue/red fibers in it,,what appear to be eggs,,and the yellow goo..
Maybe these chemicals,,and biologicals are altering the silk compounds..I dont know yet either,,but it sure aint natural,,IMHO...
I cleaned out 90 % of this stuff from the cieling,,but left some for observation..
I collected some spiders that were living,,and killed everything else via fumigation.
So,,,,the leftover spider silk continues to grow,,,move,,and hull out other insects that contact it,,just by touch..
Are these strongyliodes living amongst the web,,responsible for the hulling??
The ones(insects) that do die from contact,,eventually have fibers/?? growing out of them..
I wonder if strongyliodes can colonize outside of a host,,but semi protected from the elements(barns warehouse,,attic,,air ducts,,ect.) and survive this way,,until a host contacts some and becomes infected with another continuation of another life cycle....
Some of my spider samples have died and have left traces of something(fibers),,that I am going to m-scope.
Here is a couple of pics to show you what I see..
1 = Dangler
2 = single thread formation(overnight)
3 = Dangler being hoisted up
I am thinking of making a video called "Proteins Gone Wild"
