Growing On Our House!!!!

[posey]

I'm sure we are all aware of the different shape fibers involved in
"M", so you'll know what Im talking about.

The curved ones seen growing on the head and then they have small hook like or comma like fibers on them?, these are growing on the doorframe of our deck door.

There ae 13 of them. They are attached to steel part of frame. I asked my husband not to knock them down so I can see what happens. He tried to pluck one off and couldn't. They all have a white dot attached to the top of them and now today the hooklike small ones are there on them as well as the webbing starting to take place!!

These are exactly what I see on me. Is there anyone or any type person I can call to check this out? Would sending 1 or 2 into a mold fungus lab be of any good, do you think. There are kits in stores yu can buy and send in, plus I have one from the place where our radon kit was tested.

This is the real thing!! growing right on the house. I have seen others outside but never these before. I'm kinda scared. I feel like they have taken over my whole life.

btw, i used my husband's vehicle today and now I have much more movement. Could this possibly be that his vehicle is infected?

Posey -

These 13 are all alike? And they look just like the ones on you? Do you have a magnifying glass or microscope to be sure (at least visually) that they match yours? You might have to carefully pluck one with tweezers to be sure of that.

My house is the same .They are everywhere.Esp. around the front door.
I usually have to use and a lighter and burn the b*****ds off.
I love burning the B*****ds
Eventually they will get into hard surfaces like bath enamel and tiles.

Ok- I probably will have to use my regular camera vs cell right?

When/if I am able to get one that is visible and I put it in My Pictures folder in my documents, how do I get it here? I think I tried doing pics once before and I couldn't make it happen.

My husband was going to try now but we need to charge battery first. As soon as he gets this pic, I will post it here; following whatever directions needed. Maybe it's on the site how do do it and I am just missing it.


after I posted this, I tried with cell phone and couldn't see them, but will try with camera as soon as it's charged

Hi Posey,
it's quite easy...when you 'post reply'...scroll down a little...there you will see a blue button 'manage attachments'....hit that one...another window opens...
then in the upper left is a button 'search files'...hit that one...and look for the file where the picture is....and hit button 'open file'..your file will appear....after that hit the button on the right 'upload'...then scroll down and 'close window'...it will lead you back to your post reply...that's actually all...now your picture is attached to your post.

Hope I could help...can't wait to see those 'critters'..lol

btw...how are you feeling today? I truly hope you're doing better....

as soon as we get the pic, i will post it. it wil be better for my husband to take it, he's not afraid of monsters as he may have been as a child .

i use to think i wasn't either!!

I tried with my cell and got not a good pic. Looks blurry. Because of the sun it is nearly impossible to get any kind of a pic.

My husband is golfing right now and I think I am going to need his help to get a pic, maybe put a black drop on the inside of window. I was out there with the regular camera but it's just too sunny right now.

Getting a pic against the window for a background makes everything behind me reflect in the window. Plus I get too anxious. Our deck has other crap all over it, but when I saw these I 'bout pooped my pants!!

I'm trying eucalyptus oil on my head right now and I don't have a scarf on so I'm afraid of something blowin' and sticking to my head. This oil seems to be bringing "things" out of my scalp. Very weird lookng white things that make me think of a miniature disfigured walking stick.

I don't know if it will be today yet, probably tomorrow when my husband is home.

I've no microscope Kat so they will just look like hairs or webs in a photograph.
I will have a go later though.
If anyone can look at them with a microscope for me,and confirm my fears,I would be happy to send them a few samples.

Well it's 7:30A and I just held a magnifying (reading glass) up to them. They are more visible but I need to figure out how to keep it there. Good old duct tape I suppose.

First I need to get a little done at home. I sloughed yesterday and don't want to get too far behind. Plus I need to go get more eucalyptus oil. I only bought small one until I knew if it helped. It did; as far as bringing these weird things out of me. I'm using Dr. Bonner's soap (the one with the brown label) with eucalyptus also.

I cant get out of my head it is not Friday! Must be some kind of affect from "M", because I never know what day it is. I have to check my autonomic clock with the day, date, and time on it. I think autonomic is the right word.

I would be willing to send samle also, via using tape unless there is a better way.
