This thread might be onto something...
Not to prove that human tumors are disgusting
everyone knows that already, I hope... Maybe less that guy who bought one! LOL!
Just think abut it: pathological tissue and concretions produced by the human body culdn't be associated with 'pearls'. Not even remotely... Not in form, of course. Not even in function: they are not 'protective growth' that is
meant to remain part of the body like pearls are. Scars fall away. Tumors and 'stones' are pathological, not supposed to be there and not tolerated by the body, let alone meant to be useful. While pearls are meant to become part of the host and be useful, not just tolerated. Couldn't say as much about human kidney stones - Yikes!
Now that I'm thinking... mammal bodies do create capsules of conjunctive tissue around foreign objects embedded in harmless positions inside. Think - buckshot.
I have no freakin' idea what these look like - but they aren't concretions, they'd rotten away. Aparently those capsules have the function pearls do for a mollusk.
[Is it? Is there a doctor in the house?]
Yuck again! How about leaving the 'bloody mess' aside returning to the beautiful biological defense mechanisms like those pearls ?
