Good images, Ruth, and thanks.
Toni-Sue, I probably didn't save Prevenge's critter or critters, but does it look like the image of the Collembola he found on his arm?
This was also witnessed by someone with Prevenge at that time.
I call the sticky goo GLUE, and it's certainly possible for a small speces of Collembola to be within hair considering some species are as small as 0.2 mm.
Gordon's Collembola PageThey are generally small and some species of Neelidae are among the smallest hexapods in the world at just over 0.2 mm long while the largest Collembola are ...

ok...
for the longest time.. i NEVER saw anything that was DIRECTLY causing the movement I feel.
meaning..
I never felt something.. and looked and SAW it move WHILE i was feeling it.
today... i was outside in the sun.. and I felt those tiny stinging feelings on my right forearm.
i look down and BAM i see a tiny little orange colored what appeared to be Collembola.
It crawls around on my skin under the hair.. fast.. and i feel it as i watch it.
then another
and another..
then i see one jump up from my arm and land on it again.
then while sitting at work a half hour later i feel another sting.. a
and bam.. right there is a Collembola.. crawling around...
i thought.. hmm maybe i should show it to a co-worker ..(for eye witness sake) .. but maybe i would go over and show it to him .. and it would fall off on my way to them or jump off. and there would be nothing to see so i would look nutz.
so i didnt
but then another sting.. on my wrist of same arm...
left arm..
another one.
its crawling around..
i go up to my co worker..
i say.. hey.. look at this..
he says.. what that dot?
yea just watch..
then it crawls around like crazy..
what do you see i say..
he says it's crawling around.
i squoosh it and say ok thank you.
he's a lighthearted funny guy so he's like.. no big deal..
i make sure t say.. uh yeah.. thats like the 7th today.
so im outside again and 3 more.
i am SEEING the bugs crawl on my skin after they come out.
this is NOW FACT.. and i have an eyewitness that doesnt know i hav morgs.
its a horrifying thouht.. but its also a relief that someone else saw it.
Collembola feed off of decaying plant matter.. and live fungi.
it's known that people with heavy fungal infection can be colonized by many types of fungi eating anthropods.
hmmm..
COLLEMBOLA maybe???
uh..
FUNGAL GNATS maybe???
so try this on for size...
we get a ploant gene turned on by GMO (agrobacterium in the GMO used to manipulate it's DNA to be precise) ...
we have essentially.. mammalian/plant/ hybrid cells growing... and DYING.. as any of our cells would do...
this goes on till a point..
then we come in contact with a fungi..
a fungi that eats dead plant cells... hmmmmm
it grows and spreads...
then we get anthropod infestation (which creates the crawling feeling) ... uh.. by actual CRAWLING...
these anthropods feed off the (super?) fungi that's feeding off our dead plant/mammal cells.
freaking BINGO...bullseye...badda bing badda bang.
i have the symptoms of hyphae infestation... clear fibers.
i have crawling.. and HAVE collembola crawl out of me.. and see fungal gnats around me ALL THE TIME.
have the hyphae but not the crawlies? good for you.. you've edicated yourself and stayed healthy enough to rid yourself of fungi-feeding anthropods.
one big ECOSYSTEM in our bodies...
care to join me on this one? sound like a sound hypothesis from what we've come to find?
i think so.

www.earthlife.net/insects/collembo.htmlGordon's Collembola Page
Smallest species .02 Microns
Number of species currently identified 6,500 to 7,000 with probably thousands more not identified/cataloged/named.
Many sizes, many colors, many species too small to be seen with the naked eye.
"And - does anyone know of a parasitologist or whatever who knows how to look for Colembolla in skin scrapings now that the Romanian doctors are not here to do it for the American doctors ?"
Answer - Kathy Jiminez found them intact in her stools and most were totally intact, not chewed up and swallowed. See Kathy's Collembola images here:
jjimenez.home.mindspring.com/KJs%20Page_files/page0002.htmDr. Omar Amin found them in the scalp of J. H. Phoenix, Az. several years ago and published a paper to that effect.
Sorry, I continue to believe they are very much involved, and tend to run my mouth on the subject. Hope you're not offended, but there is way too much evidence to continue to ignore them.
Big Question is why are they present?
