Microbial hair -- it's electric: Specialized bacterial filaments shown to conduct electricity

Interesting description here of bacterial nanowires.

"The current hypothesis is that bacterial nanowires are in fact widespread in the microbial world," El-Naggar said.

The third picture was of interest to me.

In addition to El-Naggar, Gorby and Nealson, the study’s authors were Thomas Yuzvinsky of USC College; Greg Wanger of The J. Craig Venter Institute; and Kar Man Leung, Gordon Southam, Jun Yang and Woon Ming Lau from the University of Western Ontario.


Funding for the research came from the Air Force Office of Scientific Research, the U.S. Department of Energy, the Legler-Benbough Foundation, the J. Craig Venter Institute, the Canadian Natural Science and Engineering Research Council, the Canada Foundation for Innovation and Surface Science Western.

Still researching this. Here is a pdf about potential exposure.

thanks cyn, now I can't wait to get at reading these. Wanted to acknowledge your find first tho. Thanks much!! Probably more to send to me "Good" Dr.

While reading some of your articles above cynical, I came across this one and it makes me wonder if this is the rust stuff that comes out of my scalp, face, and neck.

Good find Cyn and very interesting read too. I look forward to reading your future posts. Something like this surely might explain all the invisible creeping crawling sensations if a connection is found to our symptoms. Since it is a bacteria it is indeed an intriguing find.

Posey's PDF reminds me of how dangerous it is to live in a world where the idiots in companies who bio-engineer food seeds have adapted seeds to herbicides without knowing if they will survive the other constantly changing adverse conditions in the environment. I know people in these fields think they know everything, but of course we all know from personal experience they don't. Native knowledge and native seeds adapted to various areas are now either already gone or fast disappearing. True some have been saved, but who knows if there are sufficient quantities or if the right seeds were even saved. Or if they have been tainted with drifting GMO pollen. What all this means to the survival of mankind is anyone's guess, but I would say it does not look that good right now.

I am unsure though how this particular rust could translate into anyone having symptoms from it unless it is being suggested that rust affected wheat (or other grains) is being ground up into flour supplies and is on grocery shelves in cereals, flours and other staple products made with grains. I do not think this is happening here yet as so far this rust race has not jumped to this hemisphere and attempts are being made to stop its arrival on our shores.

After having done a bit of research on the forum it does not appear that rust is a disease found in reported Morgellons symptoms or even as a part of any known human diseases. Rust seems to be solely a plant disease. So I think I would not worry about rust being a part of symptoms.

Also I have not heard of anyone having orange colors on the skin as part of Morgellons symptoms. Perhaps Cyn's comments about mixtures of chemicals on the skin which could produce an orange color could be causing the orange color on the skin. Another place I have heard of seeing an orange color is if it's found in the stool, but usually that's caused by the bile from the liver, food eaten or medications taken:

Orange Bowel Movement

If your stool shows orange coloring, it can usually be attributed to foods or medications that you may be taking. Certain medications with beta-carotene (such as a form of vitamin A) can cause orange coloring of your stool. Antacids which contain aluminum hydroxide can also cause orange stool.

Foods that are high in beta-carotene can have the same orange effect on your stool. These include; carrots, sweet potatoes, kale, spinach, turnip greens, winter squash, collard greens, cilantro and fresh thyme. Lastly any foods that have yellow or orange artificial colorings can also cause orange colored stool.

If you can't attribute your orange stool with anything you ingested, then it may be caused by a lack of exposure to bile salt. Stool starts out as green, and then turns to a yellow-orange in color before being exposed to bile and bacteria which turns the stool brown.

Low exposure to bile salt can be caused by a couple different factors. First, your transit time is so fast that your stool is being pushed through your digestive system too quickly. This quick movement of stool reduces the exposure to bile salt resulting in orange stool.

Second, your liver may not be producing enough bile salt or your bile glands may be obstructed. If it's the latter, you may want to consider liver cleansing or liver support supplementation.
