PHOTOS: Are these organisms or just debris?

I have been extremely ill ever since I hundreds of repeat exposures to bug bites, rodent feces, and an international traveler who had two severe mysterious illnesses.  The bugs include mosquitoes that may have been breeding in indoor water.

I don't know if any of the following pics contain clues about my illness, or if these are merely debris, stringy mucus, etc. Can I please have your opinion on that?  If you think these are organisms, can you guess at the species?  That maybe difficult or impossible because I didn't know how to stain these.

These examples come from nasal mucus, eye mucus, urine, skin, blood, etc.

    NOTE:  The pics posted in the opposite sequence that I was expecting.  The nasal mucus are the last two rows or collages, for example, preceded by eye mucus, urine, etc.

    Hi,

    I've got two more pics. This time there is a "scale" included. 

    Regarding the pic with the darker background:  I don't know if the object ends near the top of the pic, or if it goes beyond.  These were within some eye mucus, and difficult to focus.
