| Dec 24, 2017 at 22:27 | comment | added | user1721135 | @WayfaringStranger unfortunately I already tossed it, but I remember it being kind of strong, I was able to lift it as in the image without breaking the line. | |
| Dec 24, 2017 at 22:26 | comment | added | Wayfaring Stranger | @user1721135 Depends on the exact tissue the fiber came from and how it was milled to a powder. Try rinsing all the paprika powder off a string to see what it looks like under all that red. I wouldn't expect a bug casting, or mold to hold up to that, while cellulose, or lignin, should. | |

| Dec 24, 2017 at 20:14 | comment | added | Wayfaring Stranger | That looks more like a piece of pepper stem that made it through the powdering process complete than any pest problem. Bugs and molds do not usually do straight lines, while pepper stems contain some pretty tough fibres. | |

removed the "dough" tag, which I thought was not relevant
