Guest guest Posted October 26, 2011 Report Share Posted October 26, 2011 See attached for how they hold on so tenaciously. What you will see at the end of the legs of the insects in the attached photo is what I see under my microscope at the end of my critters' legs. kajayFrom: Benton <sarahbenton48@...>"bird mites " <bird mites >Sent: Monday, October 24, 2011 7:23 PMSubject: Re: Lint Bugs! Hi Andraya, Yes. I think it was a mold or fungus because how else would the lint towers on the lint trap disappear? I tried to rinse it away and nothing happened. I sprayed it with the Tilex Mold and Mildew cleaner and it decinerates into nothing? Not even evidence of it in the sink? Blimy, that scared me! I'm taking 100 mg of Intraconazole a day. My doctor wants me to stay on it 2 more months and then stop to see if it is gone. Not looking forward to that. Can't beat those Super Soda Bathes:) Love and light, M <aandraya@...>"bird mites " <bird mites >Sent: Sunday, October 23, 2011 11:24 PMSubject: Re: Lint Bugs! - That is my worst nightmare, to have something reinfect my washer/dryer clothes or wherever from which the live lint balls first appeared. Sounds like you got it though, I would have panicked. So you think it is fungus? Not tiny bugs that were in the shirts you bought? Because they seemed to be alive...they attach tightly to anything. I'm in a fog right now and need to reread your post later, I'm confused as to the life cycle of these organisms. I've used the Super Soda wash twice now in my bath and you're right, it does pull stuff out of the skin. Glad you suggested that. I'm going to start using it daily. How much Itraconazole are you taking? Consider adding Doxycycline and Levaquin to your protocol. Keep your hypothesis coming as to what we are dealing with, I'd like to get a discussion going around these infections Aandraya On Oct 23, 2011, at 10:20 AM, Benton <sarahbenton48@...> wrote: I want to share a most alarming experience. When I was in Lakeland, Florida, I went shopping at the local Walmart and bought 6 warm shirts. Two were waffle shirts, two were polo shirts, and two were sweat shirts that I did not realize had a fleese lining. I put all of them in the washer with Lysol and was very surprised when I opened the washer when finished. About 2 cups of lint covered everything! I suspected the fleese lined sweatshirts, so I took them out and put them in the dryer to see if the lint would come off while I rewashed the others. When dry, I put them in a trash bag, as they were still covered, and dried the other shirts. I took one out at the end of the cycle and took a lint roller to it. I was seeing what I had seen almost two years ago when this all started.....towers of lint in white but looking gray when removed by the lint roller. Those 1/2 inch size gray/blue with some other colored fibers lint bugs that Aandraya or Kajay identified kept falling to the floor from the clothing as I inspected them. The lint was tenacious as it seemed to cling strongly to the material. I turned everything inside out after rolling and was aghaust to see the inside covered as badly. I threw everything in the garbage. I took the lint trap, which was covered in gray towers, and set it in the bathroom sink and rinsed. Nothing came off. I sprayed it with Tilex Mold and Mildew cleaner and left to start cleaning the grid that leads to the lint tray one hole at a time. Lots came out. I returned to the bathroom after about 15 minutes and not a bit of lint in sight! Not even in the sink! That tells me this is a fugus or mold of somekind. I rinsed the tray and sprayed it again and went back to finish the vent. Then I washed the entire drum and door of the dryer with vinegar and put an old cotton shirt in to dry so that it might collect anything I missed. I cleaned it again this morning and am washing again. Note: Is this what happened in the beginning? Did I purchase something that infected my dryer. Yes, the 5 bird's nest were in the outtake vent, but what if the introduction of this mold/fungus coxed the mites etc, to enter into the dryer and thus me? Another observation.........Remember I said there seemed to be a 3 month rhythm? Well, I can't tell if it is 10 weeks or 14 weeks, somewhere in there stuff surfaces and then tries to set up a lesion on my skin. Hard to tell the exact time as once it hits the surface, a lump could take weeks to open and then weeks before healing starts. Never the less, 3 months is about average for panic activity to occur. I looked up how long it takes the dermas to reach the surface.It takes 48 days for a dermas cell to become an epidermas cell. That is roughly 7 weeks. I now realize how these encapsulated fungus balls get to the surface. Like popcorn, the rising cells randomly push the capsuls. I had been on the Intraconazole for 10 weeks when a new crop of capsules hit the surface. Difference is, they are tiny now, don't cause lesions, and heal away in about a week or two. I feel less and less of them under my skin, so I expect the medicine is stopping the production as the remaining offenders are still exiting my skin. I can tell you exactly where a small slit is going to appear in the future as the offender exits. This being the case, the very long time one must be on internals is explained. Fungus/mold encased is protected from medication until hitting the surface. Then surface remedys help in the fight. What do you folks think?Love and light, 1 of 1 Photo(s) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted October 26, 2011 Report Share Posted October 26, 2011 I wish, . My microscope lacked that resolution. No, I Google's " image legs " and clicked Images. ;-) On Wed Oct 26th, 2011 11:36 AM EDT Goldstein@... wrote: >Good photo Kajay... is that yours? > > Re: Lint Bugs! > > > > > > >- >That is my worst nightmare, to have something reinfect my washer/dryer clothes or wherever from which the live lint balls first appeared.
