a lab in Utah. These were samples of a fuzz like nature taken from our 
scalps after showering and a clump of hair from my armpit.the results 
were candida parapsilosis, Trichosporon penicillatum (formerly 
geotrichum). Most of the doctors didn't even persue a fungal source, 
except one, an internist at UCDavis Med Center. She took samples and 
i.d.'d ringworm fungus, tinea capita. Ater that initial visit and 
treatment, which didn't appear to work nothing else re. fungus was 
persued.
