Guest guest Posted January 5, 2010 Report Share Posted January 5, 2010 One obvious thing that comes to mind is you have been breathing them in. What is your environment like? Could it have been airborne? > black specks in nasal mucus > CaliforniaLyme > > > i know this sounds weird but i have a symptom i haven't heard > of yet. when i > blow my nose i have black specks in my nasal mucus. the rest > is clear but > sometimes it looks like specks and other times it looks > stringy. thought i > would put it out there to see if anyone has any idea what this bizarre > symptom is. btw i do not have a nasal infection. > danielle > > > Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted January 5, 2010 Report Share Posted January 5, 2010 That has happened to me in the past, well at least the back speckles, but I believe its because we have a fireplace.

Guest guest Posted January 6, 2010 Report Share Posted January 6, 2010 In our house it usually means we've waited too long to change the furnace filter. Also happens to all of us when we go camping and sit around the campfire or drive a lot on very dusty, dry dirt roads. > > > From: <msadams@...> > Subject: RE: [ ] black specks in nasal mucus > > Date: Tuesday, January 5, 2010, 4:25 PM > > > Â > > > > One obvious thing that comes to mind is you have been breathing them in. > What is your environment like?

Guest guest Posted January 6, 2010 Report Share Posted January 6, 2010 le, I know you stated you do not have a fungal sinus infection. But that is where I would look first. Do you have seaonal allergies, Multiple chemical sensitivities? Prior ear infections? Headaches behind the eyes or along your nose? Has your environment ever experienced water damage? HVAC systems are notorious for spores if not maintained and changed like it should be. Mold is not uncommon, and spores are normally found in the environment, and can be quite a roadblock in the treatments against Llyme. Lyme messes with our immune system responses, which can add to the probability. Unresponsive Lyme and company has been associated with fungal infections and mold exposure through the environment and person. Additionally, if you have taken antibiotics even once, a change in normal flora can result. Have you ever had or treated for oral thrush? It can easily go down the esophagus as up the phayrnx. Please don't completely discount the posibility.

Guest guest Posted January 7, 2010 Report Share Posted January 7, 2010 Most of the time this is dust, etc. However, on the show " monsters inside me " there was something like this. The person had a parasistic lung worm and these were the eggs. The person had a long term cough and other problems which I don't remember. dave > > le, > > I know you stated you do not have a fungal sinus infection. But that is where I would look first. Do you have seaonal allergies, Multiple chemical sensitivities? Prior ear infections? Headaches behind the eyes or along your nose? Has your environment ever experienced water damage? HVAC systems are notorious for spores if not maintained and changed like it should be. Mold is not uncommon, and spores are normally found in the environment, and can be quite a roadblock in the treatments against Llyme. Lyme messes with our immune system responses, which can add to the probability. > > Unresponsive Lyme and company has been associated with fungal infections and mold exposure through the environment and person. Additionally, if you have taken antibiotics even once, a change in normal flora can result. Have you ever had or treated for oral thrush? It can easily go down the esophagus as up the phayrnx. Please don't completely discount the posibility. > > Frito > > > >  > > One obvious thing that comes to mind is you have been breathing them in. > > What is your environment like?
