Throw Blankets- AWFUL

[posey]

I washed a throw blanket that my husband uses. You know, the fuzzy ones. I don't use them.

When I opened the dryer, my dryer was filled with M fibers. I wouldn'r touch the blanket. I had my husbane take it out. I snatched up some fibers in the lint screen corner with a kleenex and one sticking out was moving. The tip of it, about 1/4 inch was whiter and squiggly. Never again is that thing going in my washer and dryer.

Today I will have to clean out the awful fibers in the dryer and run my wash machine a few times and spin, spin, spin.

This was not from static. I took it away from dryer (I know there can still be static then) and it was visible to the eye. Static doesn't make things squiggle. It was like a worm squiggling.

Possy, i,ve had almost the same experience. I also have some of the throw blankets that you mention but stay away from them because thier fuzziness just plain looks scarry to me.
Before I joined this forum I read a post at a different site where someone said If you look long enough you eventually see a worm in a morgs fiber. At the time I was getting the florescent colered fibers from comb and hair. I looked and looked and looked for a year then finally saw one stuck in the shaft of a blue fiber, it was alive and either stuck halfway into the shaft of the fiber or growing from it.
I once had some red walmart sheeets new that I threw later out. I layed them on top of my work clothes that I had sweated in in the hamper. When the sheets got washed I had an excess amount of red fibers, But even more profound was when I seperatly washed my jeans ( I saw no red fibers on them ) they were came out clean of fibers untill I dried them,, Bang! there was a huge mess of red fibers that would have filled a shoe box. The whole dryer was infested.
I also stay away from sweaters they make my skin jump toward the sweater like bumpy jumps.

Maybe I've been lucky but I've had good luck with polyester plush throws and blankets. I know, it sounds crazy, but it's true. I use them until they start pilling heavily from washing, a month or so, then use a new one. I think it's normal plush pilling, not morgs, but I don't take the chance. Every other kind of blanket bites, but the polyester plush doesn't. I never use them without a poly satin sheet under them, though. I haven't tried a polyester down-alternative comforter because I'm afraid if something gets into the stuffing, it won't come out. But they might be ok, too.

BTW, happy Thanksgiving to you other folks in the U.S.

yeah, the dryer is definatly a morgie hook up, but before tossing anything like blanketts, put them in space bags for a month or two. if when you pull the blankett out, they still 'move', toss em. i recently bought 'lint balls' from a catalog, they kind of work, ( in my mind lint,morgie, too close to call, get rid of anything that looks back and smiles at me) but i lost a bunch. my dog chowed one...

So now my dryer is totally infested right? I get nauseated at the thought of cleaning it. I want one of those biohazard suits to wear which covers the whole body from head to toe. But wouldn't I get "the look" if I actually went to find one.

I have to wash clothes today and it means I have to go near my dryer and clean it. The whole laundry area scares me. My husband has "the fibers" on his clothes but he doesn't have the symptoms I do. How can this be? Just due to a stronger immune system? His truck is filled with it and people who stop over have "the fibers" on their clothes.

I believe people, those who suffer from this, are very hypervigilant and do know the difference between a regular fiber and a M fiber.

I too am afraid of those fuzzy blankets. For that matter, fuzzy anything.

My husband bought me 3 nylon sweaters from Cabella's. I washed the green and red one together, the other is white. They came out of the waher with red sweater fuzz balls are all over the green sweater. The green one did not do this. When they are dry you can shake them and see tons of stuff fly of of them. I'm not fabric knowledgable but it seems to me that ordinary fabric does not do this.

Any thoughts or experiences on/with nylon? I was so happy to get them and now I am afraid of them.

It might be a sin to say and think this, but I think I would be better off if this house burned down while no one was home. I feel trapped in a mold prison because it is blowing out of our vents everytime the heat or A/c kicks in. All different types of mold. I bought the Armor test kits at Home Depot and each one has different and multiple types mold. I feel imprisoned in mold and this give s me no incentive to quit cigs.

JimDoe- yes it was very obvious at the tip of this fiber that it was most similiar to a small worm. Different in color but still attached to the fiber.

I believe this is what cause me to have a ticklish feeling when I have movement on me. The squiggling would certainly cause this type feeling. I have never had biting feelings, only tickle type or crawling. I do not have sores either but sometimes when I take a shower I will get what looks like scratches on my arms or legs, but I did not scratch myself. Yesterday after a shower, I got a small circle on my leg just above the ankle which looks like a bruise. Weird

What a nightmare.

God bless us all and the researchers. I pray He will help them to help themselves ( for those who have it) and us.

Posey, I get what look like paper cuts on my hands, wrists, fingertips, feet and ankles, and have had a couple on my face. Is that what you're referring to? I also get circular red marks on my legs. No idea what they are; they itch for awhile and then do nothing. Posey, are you in the southern US where there's high humidity? I don't have lesions, either, although I do get tiny sores and pimple-like things. It would be interesting to see whether our similar symptoms have to do with where we live.

I used to get roundish bruising small penny to half dollar size and sometimes red streaking mostly on my side and back but sometimes on legs as well. When I killed off the massive amounts of yeast that was thriving in my body the bruising and streaking stopped. I also got streaks of bite marks that were fleas and some even buried under the skin and lived there my guess is the fleas were so attracted to the yeast in my blood stream. I took a 2 1/2 hour 10 lb. salt bath and expelled cups of yeast that dried to a very fine powder like talc powder. and started a three month 1000mg garlic pills 4 times a day. I think the yeast is gone for good now. Has been months since seeing and bruising or red streaks or bugs. The one worm I saw was silvery_clearish looking. Also was getting white spots on skin which is indictive of syestematic yeast overgrowth. Those spots are mostly gone now.

I had no bath for 2 months.... yes 2 freaky months and my raw meat rotten leg full of morgs healed......... water makes it worse...... now u lot who love to laugh behind my back go for a huge LOL...........

in the meantime I used clay with oil then milk to remove layers etc.....whole lotta keratin is gone...... wot m i suppose to wash?? so silly that some r still applying creams on the skin where keratin is gone?? softening wot with chemicals cos creams r chemicals,,,,,,

... and strange I do not stink....... yet with water is all worse

seems that having morgs gives new meaning to having baths.?

many stated that water makes them grow I noticed that long time ago .... never got better water and salt pulls them out yet makes them grow as well........ if u just get the particles out let them dry leave them for few days..... they turn crusty etc..... add drop of water they come alive....... what is that telling us??>>>>>????

on the other hand not seeing them in the bath is not a gurantee sign that u do not have them in the body...........
