Growing On Our House!!!!

[Katinka]

Hi Posey and Carla,
oh, now I feel bad for causing such a hassle...never mind about the picture.
It's ok...way more important is to get well and try not to 'attract' even more Morgs, right? I'm sorry I mentioned this..didn't want to cause so much trouble...!

I'm glad you're doing good with your Eucalyptus Oil Posey....Is it helping against the itching too?

I remember in the intitial phase of this affliction I didn't know what to do...so I thought...hey..what about alcohol? I put rubbing alcohol with campher and eucalyptus on my head....it not only took away the itching but also had sort of a soothing effect...Not mentioning here what all came out of my hair after combing...good grief!...But the good thing is/was 'THEY' hate/d it!

btw..ask me what day it is..hmm...I don't know..I need my laptop to look up what day and time it is..

Best wishes,

Kat

First: I think it is very important to put pictures of this door on this board for all to see because of the intelligent people here and the integrity of the board.

M-D-R is not just an "Any Old, Everyday Message Board". There's a whole lot of smarts here.

I have a feeling there is a part of the puzzle on this door window and somehow I am going to get pics of all you read about below.

As I looked at the "things" either attached or growing from door frame, I then took a look at the entire window of the door; which is basically the whole door.

I used my magnifying glass for this and was amazed at what I saw. The fibers which are under/on my skin are also on the outside of this window. Everythign I am talking about is on the outside. To make it more interesting, there are small (very small) flys which cannot be seen until I used the magnifying glass. I don't know what I am going to do at this point, other than NOT was this door.

I have thought of calling an exterminator to see what s/he might know, even if it is just to determine what type bug/fly this is. I can see the "white" in things/stuff also, which is very similar to the white seed like things on/in me. I have also thought of getting in touch with someone in the Biology Dept. at the local WI University College. I will pay them for their time and distance if they will come to my house.

As I was reading New Posts I came across this one by Sadsack and checked on the first link in it:
New article - nanoparticles & insects!!

Link in article:
New insights into health and environmental effects of carbon nanoparticles
New insights into health and environmental effects of carbon nanoparticles

To my surprise, these look exactly like the ones on the door. Did I mention they are dead and stuck?

The fibers are all over the door and could not be seen until I used the mag. glass. Plus, the front of our house on the brick part has masses of fiber webs. I won't even eat anything which is cooked on our gas grill or smoker any longer.

Since I had to reinstall Windows on my laptop I lost all my other pics so took the card from camera and put on laptop. To my surprise, and which I had forgotten about, there were the 2 pics I took.

So I just printed Kats instructions, thanks Kat, and am going to put pics here now. I don't know if anyone will be able to make anything of them. I had to enlarge them on my puter to see them better.

The white dots are at the end of the very fine hairlike things and these all have the hooklike hair intertwined between them and on them. I just checked them and they are now curled but seem to have grown slightly. Not going to knock them down. Maybe the cold 36 degree wheather lately is causing the curling and bending over. Want to see if they survive the upcoming winter.

When I previewed my post, I hope you can enlarge them otherwise you won't see them.

The nd one has thw grill cover lying on the deck, which is what you'll see. The first has my walker and other things on the deck.

If there is anyone here who isn't aware of it, I myself just learned by clicing on the pic it became enlarged and clicking again even larger.

I was just showing my husband how good some pics came out when he took a trip to some Army place and came acroos a 3rd pic which is better than the others.

This is a pic my husband took.

Be sure to click on this to enlarge it

Hi Posey, thanks for posting those pictures..great shots..btw..I'm glad to hear your hubby is supporting you..

hmm..that really looks strange...it definitely is IMO some kind of fungus..I think it's very specific how they 'stand' up..all lined up in a row with a 'head' on top..have you noticed it they are only on wooden areas?

so..do the fibers you've got on your skin look exactly the same as these?

Have you heard about the fungus gnat theory?...just wondering..

These photo images almost look like very fine glass head silk pins (used in pinning patterns on fine fabrics when sewing):

These pins come in many sizes and colors:

Here silk pins are made into a sculpture (of sorts):

Here the pins and fine yarn are made into a cone tree:

Wow ,,I always thought they were moth eggs...GREAT article find and shrp eye Venetia..
Did yall see my thread in housekeeping,,,bout the "other" ....
I ran across this last night first:
The diversity of reproductive parasites among arthropods: Wolbachia do not walk alone

Which led me to:

Wolbachia - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

and : Intragenomic conflict - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Then:Transposon - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

I always just love it then an article says "They are very useful to researchers as a means to alter DNA inside a living organism."

Wow, weird how you found them outside your house. I too have been wondering about Morg's coming from the environment or being outside. The other night I vacuumed my kitchen floor...then used my new ladybug steam cleaner (thanks Morgellons, that was a pricy purchase). I did a thorough job on the floor and before it had completely dried there were black specs in areas of the floor. This happens all of the time, but I always chalked it off to the dogs or my son's sneakers that they were dragging stuff in from outside or from the floors I hadn't vacuumed yet. The only difference is that I cleaned the floor at 3 am when no one was up and didn't leave the kitchen. One thing I noticed were gnats, perhaps fungus gnats? on the floor, so I wondered if they weren't laying eggs or doing something on the floor.

Glad to hear your husband is so supportive. This Morgellon's thing has me ready to divorce mine!

[hurtin1]

Yes,,,gnats on the floor,,,it is important to get them cleaned out of the house ,,before they culture out..
They are like little petri dishes,,,and in a week of sitting will have morgs growing out of their tiny little bodies,,The white fuzzy....
