OK Folks, Finally I've been able to photograph my "Calamata Olive" like balls...have been passing them for a few days now. This sample is a very small one...others are at least twice to three times larger, but would not fit on the slide to photograph. Others will follow this slide...one was already dead and had opened up. The other one is in a video where I opened it and pulled it apart. This looks like the capsule that holds the rat lungworm and I will try to put the photo from "Monsters Inside Me" here as well. I'm not good at this, so bear with me please. I have photos from about 3-4 years ago showing these exact same forms, however, back then they were all open and I didn't realize that they were the same thing! So these have been in my body for that long! They have come out of my body in my stool, I have coughed up different pieces of them as well...UGH! These specimens are just some of many others that are inhabiting my body at present. I have counted at least 100 at a time that have emerged from my body in one "sitting"...if you get my drift... PLEASE, if you recognize any of these pieces as showing up in your stools, please do let me know! Then we will have additional specimens to add to our collection of just what is coming out of our bodies, and another piece of the puzzle! Here we go! Please eat your lunch first! ctbarb Attachments:![](//storage.proboards.com/1086817/thumbnailer/NnMczMxx_fqgKJgMriNU.jpg)

This is hard, much like a seed. Am waiting to see what it looks like when it dries. It appears to look like those "caraway seeds" that we see sometimes. I cough these up regularly! Attachments:![](//storage.proboards.com/1086817/thumbnailer/K4XUsJCVAaZxNvLnOIMY.jpg)

Another closeup of seed - these are at 60X. For reference, most of the other photos are at 10X because of the size of the specimen. Attachments:![](//storage.proboards.com/1086817/thumbnailer/A56gilWsfzGERvIt2aAI.jpg)

Well...Barb, aren't those peas?
I'm SO playing with you.
Barb, I just wonder if that "planted" into a petri ...what might grow from it?
You know, like germinating a lima bean on a wet paper towel? Can you take a few of those and place them in a jar with a lid and a wet paper towel even? See if they grow roots like a bean would.
Do you know what I mean?
Barb, I've not 'yet' seen anything like that, and I AM so sorry you're dealing with this. Cause you'd know by now if it were something your eating, and you KNOW it's not.
Barb, are these as big as green olives with pimentos? Really...It's hard to imagine, you poor thing.
Since no one has the 'guts' as in doctors to check these out more thoroughly...I'm thinking ...(just for the heck of it) try a petri dish...and also the "jar with the wet paper towel" and the lid with holes for air. See if YOU can get it to sprout. This is definately something incredibly weird. Even parasite eggs don't look like this, do they?
Thank you Barb.

OMG!!!
Now that I've seen more pics Barb, this really is INCREDIBLE!
Freaky...where are you? You had some pictures too of things that looked like this also! Just smaller, but same looking things.
Barb, yours ARE incredibly huge. I'm glad you placed that dime next to one of them, because that gives a very real observation now to the size of those suckers.
They sure do look like seeds, but seeds of what? OMG. Barb, I can't even imagine right off what the heck.

Toni,
These are not seeds! There is one seed like specimen inside, but these specimens are ALIVE! They move, they will swim in the water...they open and close at will...and then can sense when something foreign like a utensil is near them! If they are partially open, and the utensil is near, they will close tightly and very quickly too!
I have kept about 50 of them in a close container for longer than 5 months in water, at room temperature, and when opened (outside of course - the stench was horrific), MOST were still alive!!!
These can't be planted like a seed...they don't sprout anything except the rat lungworm!!! Unfortunately, the worm was already gone from these specimens...but you have to be quick to even try to find one. They are released inside the body prior to leaving. I believe that these are the organisms that are living inside my "Sleeping Giant"! That growth under my breast!!! When I have a seige of these things coming out, that massive growth-like thing, reduces in size and is very evident!
I will try to find my photo from Monsters Inside Me and post so you can compare.

This photo and some others were transferred from another file that was dated more than 2 years ago...I transferred it last year. This is what I believe they look like when they are in the dying process. This one was large enough to hold in the palm of my HAND!!! This photo is at 10X and I still couldn't get the entire piece in. Another photo follows with the rest of it. Attachments:![](//storage.proboards.com/1086817/thumbnailer/BrAHgsrFtbXRdXP0vbxW.jpg)
