For months now i have been quietly observing the dog hairs on the cement floors at work. I spray alot of fur down the drains.....and i mean ALOT. ((they are not just shedding anymore......almost all of them are losing chunks of fur/hair... pretty much all the time.)) Some of this fur sets in corners/edges going unnoticed for hours or days sometimes..... but I am much anal about cleaning so I try and catch those areas that usually get missed and spray them out towards a drain. Yesterday an area of the kennel which houses the bleach bottles .....compiles (on the floor) much of this missed dog hair. I opened the gate, went in and sprayed out the fur with a medium wide-mist spray. As these small piles slowly headed toward the drain i gasped at how each group of hairs (multi-sized) had either the oocyst (safranin stain- color pattern) or the trophozoite shape (no color pattern). I felt i was washing evidence down the drain. I washed different sized "trophozoites" down the drain and I washed different sized "oocysts" down the drain. Approximately 15-20 perfect samples ***They kept their shaped - completely unaffected by the water pressure*** (((tail in a different direction maybe and ((oops correction)) I have seen metamorphasis from ""oocyst" to "trophozoite" back to "oocyst" etc....))) There was another of my patterns in the fur several days ago as well.... i had not seen one in the fur before. I will continue to post on this with plans to take my camera to work and will eventually upload & post these photos. Thanks for listening ;D anj

Thanks for posting. I know what you're talking about, and will be looking forward to the photos.
I see patterns that are different shapes than yours, as far as I can tell. Sometimes going back to a photo after some months have passed, they don't look as weird anymore. I want to post a gallery of ones that stay weird.
Try sprinkling a powder over a plain area and see what happens.
