Is the connection between GWS and Morgellons, the Mycoplasma, which is a human and animal pathogen?
The Bacillus cereus group of bacteria encompasses Bacillus Thuriegensis(Bt-toxin - GM crops and sprays), Bacillus Anthracis(Anthrax), Bacillus Israeliesis(mosquito control spray), and Bacillus Mycoides (plus other numerous subspecies).
Bacillus Mycoides= B. mycoides plasmids= Mycoplasma.
What is Mycoplasma?
"A group of microscopic organisms intermediate between bacteria and viruses."
"A family made up of all known bacteria, some of which can cause a range of illnesses in plants, animals and people."
Mycoplasma hominis is a human pathogen.
Mycoplasma mycoides is regarded as an animal pathogen.
Mycoplasma pneumoniae is a human pathogen.
Information on the Cereus group indicates that the bacillus normally lives in the ground or thereabouts and is harmless to humans. Using it in GM crops and in sprays is "fine"- except of course very little research has been done on the potential health risks to immunocompromised persons(and every second person these days seems to be that way).
Plus "they" don't say that when left in its natural habitat the bacteria is taken care of by the naturally occurring antibiotics.
Bacillum mycoides produces fungal like growths of the rod bacilli as chains of cells forming filaments curving to the left ot right. Wild types have the ability to form long filaments. They are rhizoid, produce plasmids and hydrolyze sucrose.
There are types defined as "cotton-like" due to their fluffy appearance. The mutants are mostly amongst the cotton-like colonies.
AND....another biological control agent called Bac J (Bacillus mycoides isolate) for use on sugar beet and corn, has been produced.
AND also, on 14th June, 2006 the Environmental Protection Agency has given an EXEMPTION till the end of 2007 for the requirement of a tolerance for residues when applied to control leaf spot in sugar beets.
Textbookofbacteriology.net says, "Some of the Bacillus polysaccharides cross react with antisera from other genera of bacteria including human pathogens. For example Mycoides with Streptococcus pneumoniae type 111."
B. mycoides is frequently found in pasteurised milk.
Then to divert slightly....not too much though, because it's exactly the same family.....Bacillus anthracis(Anthrax)....which when inhaled has an almost 100% fatality rate.
When acquired as cutaneous anthrax via a skin wound(from soil or a contaminated animal), it is inoclated by spores which begin as a pimple and end up as a necrotis ulcer, possibly causing septicaemia. Antibiotics work.......mostly.
Even though B.anthracis is so closely related to the other members of the Cereus group, which we are told are harmless to humans-- no one is making garden spray from it, are they? Well, are they??
Could there be a little smidge more bacillum in the cotton???
To quote Prof. Joe Cummins.......
"The endotoxins of B. thuringiensis (bt toxins) are stored as inactive crystals in bacterial spores, which are activated in the insect gut to create pores on the cells of the insect gut, causing an inrush of water that bursts the cell. In the event that B. anthracis mated to transfer plasmids to B. thuringiensis, recombination could create plasmids bearing toxins both for anthrax and for killing insects. New strains of B. anthracis with unpredictable properties could arise.
The bt toxin genes are employed in crop genetic engineering. Currently, there has been little or no effort to evaluate the possible recombination between B. anthracis in the field and the endotoxin genes of crop plants. Such gene exchange could occur in the soil between GM plant debris and bacteria.
Also, it is not unlikely that GM crops carrying anthrax genes could be produced either for vaccines or for bio-weapons."
