Bacteria/parasite identification #878977
Asked July 27, 2024, 7:22 AM EDT
Hi, our medical team has a morgellon's patient with what looks to be of a bacterial/parasitic biological origin. Is there anyone with a lab that can run additional microbiology testing? With Raman Spectroscopy the sample appears to have sharp barbs. TEM analysis showed it had electron-dense inclusions and they are magnetic. Any help would be much appreciated. Thank you.

Since this is not a plant disease issue, I'm not likely to be helpful (and I don't recognize the micrograph). I would recommend escalating this to a state or federal identifier within the state pathology, department of agriculture or National Identification Service.
Thank you so much for that information. We will do that.
