Protists produce many types of filaments that consist of cellulose. Plasmodial slime molds form fiber-like stalks that contain spore-bearing fruiting bodies. Spores inside this fruiting body are held loosely by capillitia and elator filaments that spring open to release the spores .
To date, various clinicians have seen...and occasionally identified...certain common dermato-pathogens OR organisms not found on humans but on animals or on inert material. This suggests the possibility that the skin immunity of Morgellons is seriously deficient, allowing numerous animal or plant parasites to live on human skin.
The Morgellons Research Foundation has said many times that cellulose has been detected in fibers that Morgellons patients found on the skin, or in their wounds. They are also quite interested in tests that showed Agrobacterium in wounds. (Agrobacterium is a bacterium that normally infects plants, but can infect humans with weakened immune systems, particularly with chronic skin trauma).
Agrobacterium is one of number of species that produce microbial cellulose. Of course this is of interest, since some fibers tested have been shown to contain cellulose.
Abstract
There are six particle types that are consistently recovered from the skin surface of those suffering from Morgellons disease, 1) ribbon-like fibers, 2) rounded fibers, 3) capsule-like particles, 4) black flakes/grains, 5) worm-like particles, and 6) stellate-shaped (“starfish-shaped”) particles. The fibers are often pigmented and may luminesce under ultraviolet light. These six particle types were recovered from a hot water tank that was suspected of harboring contaminants causing chronic skin irritation and other debilitating symptoms to the scalp, neck and shoulders of the homeowner. The hot water tank had been idle for more than 2 years and is thought to have been contaminated by soil/groundwater organisms. Replacement of the hot water system and water pipes eliminated these contaminants and resulted in a marked improvement in the homeowner’s health.
...
Based on the findings of this Phase I study it is proposed that prolonged dermal exposure to algae-rich conditions may promote the incidental growth of opportunistic keratin degrading populations causing chronic symptoms associated with Morgellons disease.
...
After reviewing reports that described fibers or filaments associated with Morgellons, which luminesce under UV light, a UV lamp (360 nm) was used to confirm that the fibers obtained from the hot water tank and hot water shower contained luminescent blue, green, and red filaments.
...
Fibers are considered to be biological in origin.
...
These 6 particle types occur only in hot tank water samples and suggest that their source originated from town drinking water flowing through the water mains. The integrity and condition of these water mains is likely to have an impact on the residence’s water quality.
I see where the article states that, but I would guess that the writer probably misquoted or misunderstood something.

It is my opinion that just because you oversaw some aircraft/airline procedures does not mean you can definitively say you've seen all aircraft procedures.

I would imagine that people with compromised immune systems would suffer much more lasting and internal damage than an annoying dermatological condition. A compromised immune system is essentially a death sentence.

infact i could clearly see the details of the plane,it was all white and seemed of military design.

The problem is that I don't see that listed on any of the legitimate research documents. The news tends to sometimes sensationalize things.

It depends on how compromised it is. Someone with allergies has a compromised immune system technically speaking. We are obviously not talking about someone with an immune deficiency along the line of AIDS, but there is obviously a weakness in the immune system that is allowing something infect people which should not be.

From the way it reads it looks like this stuff lives in the pipes and water heaters. They do add chlorine and fluoride to water to try and keep bacteria and such down, but it will never totally sterilize the water. All you have to do is use a water filter and look at it when you replace it, and you will see that there is a lot of stuff that is still in that water. Some of it comes from the pipes themselves.

I understand, its cool. I just tend to follow the conventional researchers ideas on the subject as opposed to the more sensational theories.
