Assuming these victims are not bruising themselves, the contusion is generated from the inside, which is consistent with the sensations of something moving or biting from the inside. The elsewhere noted resistance of the fibers to high temperatures could imply that this is an asbestos related disease. Dr. Hulda Clark says that our phagocytes will gorge on asbestos until they themselves disintegrate. I can imagine that the release of the stored asbestos could feel like something crawling or biting depending on where the phagocytes are located at the time. The structure looks like a fungi. Fungi could take the organic iron and copper and transform it, possibly into a metal-micelle polymer that coats the asbestos, which could actually be safer than bare, sharp asbestos. Building the fibers with these minerals caught up in the fibers matrix could conceivably result in the spectrum of colors. Using iron with new fiber growth could produce red, but using oxidized iron with older fiber growth would produce a darker color. I can think of many inexpensive and readily available ways to deal with the external fungi (such as Ruby23 pointed out above), but the key might be the asbestos, if it really is in the fibers, in which case one needs to find the source and also clear it from the body. It should not be difficult to run some tests to look for asbestos in the fibers, and to determine if this is a natural fungus (assuming it is a fungus) or one that is, perhaps, engineered to clean up the environment.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Why This Works&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Our theory is that due to the decreased consumption of salt in our daily diets, we have allowed the invasion of parasites into our bodies and those of our pets and livestock. Over the centuries, man has traditionally consumed approximately 20 grams of salt daily. The only time, other than current day, that man’s consumption has drastically decreased was during the Medieval Ages, when the landlords deprived the poor of salt, and the Black Death ravaged the population. Salt is an ancient bactericide, and killer of many of man’s pathogens. For centuries, twenty grams of salt daily was the average intake due to the way meats were cured and foods were preserved. Man certainly lived a more outdoorsman’s lifestyle, yet there was no mysterious illness. Was it the presence of sodium chloride in his body that prevented Lyme from occurring? Lyme was first documented in the 1970’s. It is around the same time we were inundated with the “No Salt Diet” craze. For years Japan had no cases of Lyme disease, and only recently with the new low salt soy sauce have cases been documented. As far as our animals go, cows were always given large blocks of salt licks, which were pure sodium chloride. The old ways protected our livestock from many pathogens that are coming into focus in today’s society. Just recently, these blocks have become mineralized salt licks with minerals, medicines, and vitamins, that manufacturers claim is what our livestock need. They actually need the sodium chloride. This may explain the recent appearance of new illnesses such as Lyme, Mad Cow, and other parasitic illnesses among our livestock. They crave the sodium chloride. It is a natural instinct. Just the same way that a hunter knows that if he puts out a block of salt, the deer will come. Bear reportedly tear the bark off fallen trees to lick salt. There are salt caves in Africa that draw herds of elephants at night, and the mothers break off chucks of salt and fed it to their young. Maybe it is time we take a lesson from the animals. Eat more salt! &lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;as I discovered one emerging from my skin in 2001.during my first really tormenting bout of what people seem to be calling morgellons. I had bought myself a computer microscope to look at the fibre balls and grains which were coaxed out my skin craters by constant coating with oil concoctions. &amp;nbsp;Needless to say only my close family believe &amp;nbsp;me as they think the idea of a parasite fly is ridiculous!&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Kind regards,Jennifer&lt;/p&gt;
