Here’s another odd whisker removed from my face, in the shape of a spiral. As happens occasionally I had a small ingrown-looking whisker, and upon pulling on it with tweezers (and expecting another abnormally thick whisker) this came out.
I would have liked to get a better photo of it, but as it’s only about 2mm long this was the best my 100mm 1:1 macro lens could do. This is the sort of thing that a microscope with a camera mount would be ideal for.
