Question for those with Microscopes

Hi Lisa,
The ones I have seem don't look like they're moving until I keep one under the scope for a few days and see they have extentions and/or the 'tubules' have moved in a different direction. This is why I think mine are really fungi although two separate 'parasites' have been identified from my stool (I don't agree with the labs assessment, however)

Once I did come back to actually see one of the 'tubules' in the act of moving after a week or so. My thinking they could even stay alive from what bacteria they get in the air. Sorry, I guess I'm just rambling without even giving any concrete answer, but that's what I see.

I agree kritters. When the stuff first emerges it appears, to the naked eye, to be some type of insects however when I view them under the scope they are fibers or insect-like but no movement other than barely noticible, fiber growth. Jan Smith did produce movement by placing the stuff in a saline solution.

I've had some in zip lock bags in a big metal can for several months.
I just looked 2 days ago and it appears that most are still alive.

Kritts,

LMAO
The mfs* should be!
Whats with that anyway? They dont need air?

Yes I looked under scope and even got some pics. It appears they are busy doing construction and wiring work ........ my observation! Afraid to say anything else! You might think I'm crazy already and whatever else I say will certainly prove it to be so! This is too UNREAL to be true!

They are much more active & try to get away more. Ive lost several already. I will show the pics if you want? I need to reboot and go to photobucket first though because it deletes every other page I have up.

Hope you are doing ok?
