Menagerie

[Digit]

It's snapshot time.
All the mites I caught between sellotape folds, last week and yesterday. When you look with the magnifying glass you can see their shape.
But under the scope they are air pockets filled with exploding goo. Had no idea what I was doing. Just having a tutu.
Started off by taking screenshots. Worked out how to snap them off through the scope, but those although better clarity are very small.
(Damn not having the video sorted, You could see the galssine prickle thing embedded in my glasses lens moving.)
These are also in sellotape folds. I tweezed some solid scab from my buzz cut and warmed got mites. Threw it in my days of the week pill box. Which had other things collected since my bath, and hairs that weren't, in it. Wrapped it several times round with plastic wrap, and then later when I noticed Houdini with a plastic bag. Holding the box over the lamp during the week you could see things moving inside it and a row of mites attatched to the lid. The first 6 pics are collected from inside the bag.

I first noticed Houdini when it crawled out of the pill box and worked his way through the wrapping. It was about 3 mm long.
I went to poke at it mid week realised it wasn't under the wrap. Later after escaping the bag it was the same length and still slug looking but thicker & greyer in colour. Houdini was basking in the light of the lamp. Attached to the plastic bag and standing on end. Waving an antennae. Looking very much like the black slug in pic 4. This is also like what my friend watched crawl out of my head in the library.
These don't seem to pop or degrade as quickly as the mites.

I'm not brave enough to open Pandora's box without some way sorted to contain and kill them.
Gotta get my head around the scope and video function first.

Yhose pieces all look like dried yellow and red goo, a fiber ball, the black thing may be somthing that fell out of a nose. Spend a tiny little bit of money and buy one of those computer microscopes go up to 200 X

Just the best escapee...
This is a small potatoes. There's things living in that box. I've watched them grow over the week. And the thing that's moving from one side of my glasses lens to the other I got pics of it but only with the scope camera. Made my teen scream. It's a glassine prickle grown/dividing. One of those glow in the light things. My lens change to sunglasses in the light. It's eaten and crazed the surfaces.
My dog has the same mites (that pop in the sellotape folds) and a heap of Houdini's. I fed him a pile of broccoli (loves his vege's) Poor dog had 3 tubular stripes each side of his gut next day. I pick the section up daily, the houdini's Were stuck to the dustpan, all stretching antennae or proboscis to the sun. He's a blond so his eyelash type hairs are fair/orange like him.
The ones that live in my nose and ears are white and blue or white, like thick threads of cotton.
No money for 200x upgrade Barak, just have to grow some bigger bugs eh.
I haven't spent enuff time with the scope to know what it's capable of yet.

That same yellow goo is all that was left in all of the tapes of the mites I caught live. They'd popped or something, leaving the goo and black seeds.
Or....
Are you just trying to say that your's is bigger than mine?
Coz I've heard that before yah know.

Try putting the goo in the toilet. When I was first sick I would find dried globs on the floor, not all of them yellow BTW. Sometimes orange, red or brown. When added to the toilet water they would break up, dart up and down and all around, spin out into circles and break apart into even smaller bits. I always used to think they could be tiny parasites just starting. I no longer have these dried bits on me or the floor. I think I am working a lot of this out of my system lately.

[janedoe]

do your windowsills have dead bugs in them? even after cleaning?

[Digit]

No but I'm noticing the fibers everywhere.
There was nothing visible until I had the soda scrub/salt bath.
Since then I've been trying to stuff it back in until I can work out a way to detox safely. Safety being for those around me.
