Hi Gwen/Sunny,
I don't know if you can answer this question I have, I'm very curious though - because it's in my mind in regards to the BDD.
Please don't feel I'm objecting to the research that has made the books, sort of to speak, but....I do have questions that would be wonderful if I could understand something.
Here it is and Please see this as just being "the devils advocate" as it's a way to help understand things from my seat.
To my understanding, 'normal keratin' does not fluoresce, unless, there's something in it, such as bacteria or fungi, and that doesn't always "fluoresce" either....but many species have the capability to, when put under a black light or woods lamp, just not all.
So do you know, is it the actual keratin fibers (that fluoresce)?
I understand that "Treponema" bacteria will fluoresce, but that's the bacterium - not the actual keratin.
Can you shed any more light on this subject?
Thank you.

Toni, I read in the paper about specimens that showed fibers with fluorescence under UV lighting. If this was due to bacteria, keratin, a combination or some unknown factor is an excellent question which Ms. Middelveen and Dr. Stricker would be better able to address. Morgellons is most definitely still a mystery disease, but the proof it is doing something inside our bodies has arrived. Sunny

Sunny, Thank you, and yes, I see it as a very pertinent question, because it's like hearing (it's an animal) and my question then would be "what kind". Glad you understand. And I'm glad about the article! Excited actually because it is a breakthrough for (all of the non-believers) to see now.
