trichophyton dermatophyte

[paddel]

I am beginning to think now that the dermatophyte trichophyton is one the responsible pathogens for morgellons.
At least this is the fungi that I really respond to when I do my rife.
It also best describes the fungi that I see and rub off my skin.

What do you'll think? I think I have solved some the puzzel, yay.


Trichophyton


Pathogenicity and Health Effects
Trichophyton is a keratinophilic filamentous fungus which has the ability to invade keratinized tissues thus; it is considered as one of the leading causes of hair, skin, and nail infections in humans. Possession of several enzymes, such as acid proteinases, elastase, keratinases, and other proteinases are the major virulence factors of Trichophyton species.

Out of the total number of species, eleven are commonly associated with tinea of the scalp, the nails, and the skin in humans while only four are often isolated from animals. Additionally, Trichophyton species may cause invasive infections in immunocompromised patients. Trichophyton rubrum is the commonest causative agent of dermatophytoses worldwide.

Most of the Trichophyton species have teleomorphic forms and these teleomorphs are classified under genus Arthroderma.

Macroscopic Appearance
Ø Growth rate may range from being slow to moderately rapid, and colonies are waxy, glabrous, downy to cottony; and
Ø Surface colony color ranges from white to bright yellowish beige or red violet and the reverse may be pale, yellowish, brown, or red – brown.

Microscopic Appearance
Ø Hyaline, septate hyphae, microconidia, macroconidia, and conidiophores, and arthroconidia are present, chlamydospores may also be produced;
Ø Conidiophores are little differentiated from vegetative hyphae;
Ø Microconidia are unicellular, round - to pyriform – shaped, numerously present, may be solitary or arranged in grape – like clusters;
Ø Macroconidia are multicellular (with two or more cells), may either be smooth -, thin -, or thick – walled, cylindrical, club – shaped, or cigar – shaped, and are often absent; and
Ø Several species are typically sterile; however, sporulation may be induced with the use of an appropriate media.

I wouldn't be at all surprised if that's right, Paul!

Mold

Here's a great site about house mold. I thought I started a poll a while back about people having mold in their homes but couldn't find it. Maybe we should start one anyway.

Check out this site! I've heard of Theives Oil and tried to find it at my local health food store but they didn't have it. Has anyone used it?
