Has anyone seen anything like this coming from their nose or mouth? This is a sample of something that came out of my nose in June 2007...I just saw another one recently. And, this is a 4th one? Yes, Toni - I see those hexagonal shaped 'scales' on the side of it...

![](http://i45.tinypic.com/2r599hu.jpg) This is what the surface reminds me of when I first saw your specimens pictured here Barb. The indents shaped like honeycombs or golf balls. ![](http://attachments.proboards.com/108121/lymebusters/ZwI6e52mGFtXGxMso4A6.jpg) ![](http://attachments.proboards.com/108121/lymebusters/NnMczMxx_fqgKJgMriNU.jpg)

Thanks Toni, The black ball organism is usually fully rounded without any indentations when it comes out. Unless I've been irritating them, or they have been damaged in some way either during, or after their trip through the intestine, they will be smooth and shaped like an olive. Once they've opened a few times, they lose their firmness, some of the insides leak out (like the worm(s)) for instance and that creates the indentations I think. Good thinking though!

I searched on hexagonal shaped parasites, the coccidian species includes marine fish and it gave me: www.int-res.com/articles/dao/40/d040p067.pdfWhich lead me to Perkinsus sp., a fish parasite from eating clams and oysters, which if you look at the Images, resemble some of our 'artifacts'?... tinyurl.com/yek2slcBarb, have you looked at Perkinsus sp. before?

Kam, No, I haven't looked at Perkinsus before, but I just finished reading and looking at images and there does seem to be some type of commonality in what I'm seeing, I just don't know what. Thanks for finding this, I will study more tomorrow...the clam again, and I spent 10 years of my life studying these with my husband...and here we are back to square one! Interesting... Love, Barb ![:-*](//storage.proboards.com/forum/images/smiley/kiss.png)

Love, Barb ![:-*](//storage.proboards.com/forum/images/smiley/kiss.png) I know, Barb, ... I've noticed how our research can run us in circles... We'll look at it too if you need help... you skim it and if you think we need to look closer, Jeany and I will help you... just let us know? I was in an area in Florida, right before I got evidently sick, that the locals eat the oysters and clams/scallops right out of the bay, they have local restaurants that serve them that I frequented... I've often wondered if that was a connection?
