Hello fine people, Has anyone else noticed the similarities between the Morgellon fibers and Horsehair worm (Nematomorpha)? This is also known as Gordian worm. Here is a link with a picture of a horsehair worm. www.nzfreshwater.org.worm-like.htmlHere is a link to a drawing of one...(this resembled EVERY fiber I looked at under the microscope).Hmmmmmmmm...... tolweb.org/Nematomorpha/2473 Would like some input on this...thanks. Bugsy

Interesting video; I have a question, if you pour hydogen peroxide on these horsehair worms, will it totally dismantle them and also when they dry, will they go back together?

Good question rose..... : ) I've done limited research online. What caught my eye was the twisty hairlike shape and the fact that these things come alive in water. These worms actually destroy their cricket and grasshopper hosts after driving these insects toward water somehow. I don't know about you guys...but there always seems to be a large resurgance to the surface of my skin immediately after bathing. Everything I've read about these horse hair worms contradicts having a human as a host...and these are actually touted as being "good" for the enviornment as far as insect control.....but I'm a skeptic from way back. Horse hair worms are in the roundworm family and as I understand it they come from caddis fly larvae. Now again...when I've looked at a good "springtail" specimin under the microscope it has similar features of the caddis fly. The host then eats the caddis fly and its eggs. It seems to be largely a waterborne parasite......but not exclusively. I wish I could answer the peroxide question.....but have fortunately...to my knowlege...had direct contact with a horsehair worm...... ~bugsy

We have to look at all possibilities for sure, something the doctors have never done.
Nano makes most sense to me so far. I'll give you a for instance; my dog who has contracted my illness, scratches and bites at things, which I'm sure are there. One day he pulled what looked like his fur out, but after close examination I saw fur on the end of a stick, (with my eyes), so then I pulled out the magnifying glass and the stick had what looked like legs. As I figured I would get a microscope sometime in the future, I put it in a sandwich bag. Two months later in my sandwich bag I now have 3 looking quite a bit alike although smaller so far than the first.
The bag itself is actually breaking down at an accelerated rate.

Funny you would mention that Rose...we actually found a similar sounding creature in our dogs fur quite a while back while doing our regular flea check with a flea comb but dismissed it. Would it be possible to give your sample to your vet for examination in a lab?
Take care, Bugsy

I am holding onto it, but until labs have the ability to know what they are looking for and I believe that is coming soon, that it would be done in vain. Tests are established to find certain things, they need a baseline to find what we are being affected by, without that the result is they always find nothing at least that they are aware of.

Yes I have been doing a lot of research and for sure it does very well resemble horse hairs
