  * What The Photos Reveal – PT 1*

        In the Days way Back, before the Malassezia Identification

 i had the Distinct Sense i was dealing with Two Different ‘Creatures’

 with the same –yet not quite– Behaviour and Symptoms.

 

Even after Identification and Confirmation i still felt the same.

It was only after closer Observations and as the fragmented Pieces

started to come together that i finally came to see and regard it all

as “Stages Of Development” of the Same Creature, i e Malassezia Furfur

with its More than one names, to add to the overall confusion …

 

Having confirmed and established this as a fact through observations 

and whatever other means available, my position has not changed since 

except for a Belief or Feeling that there is still a Missing Link

connecting the patterns and stages that somehow have been eluding me.

 

   When i recently came upon this Piece of Information below

                      i realised the Missing Link was 

 Connecting the Yeast Stage – To the Mycelia / Fungus  One…. 

      

The Researchers have since moved on from this position

into trying to establish different Taxonomic Divisions and Classifications

for a more defined or agreeable common ground of Identification Process

due to which a lot of Research must now be Repeated… etc.

 

I will not pretend i wholly or even sufficiently understand all that

and i am neither here -nor am i qualified- to question or contradict

either their methods or existence of different Malassezia sub-species.

 

For Myself  though since i have still remained in the same position

i wanted to check more systematically the Common Characteristics

presented in Samples Collected from Different Parts of My Body

in Regards to My Own Body Specifically – as i cannot know,

speak or check other people’s except perhaps of my

‘Silent Guinea Pig’ partner, whose several samples

i have already published in earlier Entries in the *Malassezia Blog*

and are so very much alike my Own despite the difference

in Severity of Symptoms – His  a lot Milder than mine.

 

In carrying on this Project, i thought rather than including Links

Referring and Connecting to Relevant Entries already published

thus Sending the Reader in a tedious Back and Forth cycle, to instead

Present here the Photos Related to this Topic with Brief comments

as well as New Ones – Not been Published Before.
