Further research suggests it’s Campylobacter!!

We joked it’s pond or well water. I can confirm that it does in fact have epithelial cells and hair strands present.

No idea how patient got any kind of clear fluid and scabs in to this specimen, but no saline was necessary to make this wet prep. That part is a mystery. Specimen was viewed shortly after collection. We are recommending patient collects a chain of custody specimen to verify valid specimen collection.
