What do you see?
Microscope slide of a blood sample stained with Heisenbrenner’s Tincture to show the presence of Mandinka’s Disease. This plague is rare, but endemic in the higher altitude areas of Eastern Bechuanaland. The parasites can lie dormant in the blood for decades until they finally attack and destroy the scrotal connective tissue which in turn leads to orchidal atrophy. The native term for this affliction is "Makende Angika" (Ball Drop) – an orphan disease for which little or no research exists.
Ball Drop, oh, how horrid!
I see a scorpion, like me.
It is fun to see things as we please in various patterns, natural or not. I once saw man in a tall hat (not top hat) with two ladies in 18th century dresses while starring at the floor and I drew them. I still have the drawing since 43 years.
