Re: morgellons? please help!

There are big holes in testing. When a lab looks at a specimen, they match it to known images (if doing microscopy), typically they look at the ova (eggs) because the ova has distinctive signs, meaning the ova of parasite 1 will look different than parasite 2. If they look at the adult stage, there are fewer distinctive signs and often times, there can be non-parasitic things that resemble a worm.

So one problem that arises is that there are quite a few species of parasites that can infect people, oftentimes, the images for comparison are not complete. This means that you could be infected with a worm that is not registered. Thankfully, most of the remedies that kill nematode 1 will also kill nematode 2.

This link has a decent Image Gallery , hover over the right side of and you will see pictures of the ova.

To view ova, you need strong magnification (my guess is 400x). Many of the Chinese scopes are decent and you can find some for $100-150. Tweet
