I'm a PhD entomologist who has been looking at samples of fiber balls etc. from people, their clothes, furniture etc. for many years. I've recently started reading about Morgellons on the web. Most of the 'suspects' I've seen int he pictures are of the same detritus I've seen in my own tape samples. BUT...I've also noticed the references to collembola in posts here and there. Many kinds of collembola have irritating hairs, and some species also have toxic chemicals in their blood. Collembola have been recovered from patients that had previously been diagnosed with delusory parasitosis.

With the above in mind, I hope Morgellons sufferers will make an effort to rule out collembola as a possible cause of their problem before settling on a purely psychiatric explanation.

I've posted more about the possible collembolan connection to Morgellons in my Blog at GeorgeRotramel.com Hope it helps.
