Answer to Case 782

 Answer to the Parasite Case of the Week 782: Not a parasite. 

Most closely resembles banana "seeds" (tannin bodies). 

While we will never know for sure, the beaded/fragmented appearance and dark color of these objects allow us to identify this as a non-parasitic object that closely resembles banana tannin bodies. You can read more about banana tannin bodies in my previous cases 139 and 468. In particular, I recommend checking out Case 468 which shows my experiment to recreate a partially-digested banana.

Thanks again to Dr. Adrienne Showler for donating this interesting case!
