sanjean, Did you find out what that was you are coughing up? Can you give me an idea of about how long they are. The reason I ask is I had something simulair come out of my shoulder blade, but it had large redish/purple eyes under the skin, like a larvae about an 1 1/2 long,creamy/white, and fat like it was about to explode. I have no idea what it was but I still have itching where the first one came out of as if there is more than one in there. I have other parasite ploblems as well, that I just don't want to go into right now, it's to exhausting. any help would be apprecitated. Thanks, Cindy
