This is a rant.

I tried telling someone that I had a metal chip in my foot that was being used to track me. I felt the chip there and I could see it poking out of my skin. People repeatedly told me that there was nothing in my foot and that It was just in my mind.

Well, I went to the doctor to get the chip surgically removed that way I could call police and prove that I am being tracked, right? Well, the doctor told me that there really IS something in my foot. But that it is just a type of wart and that by freezing it should come off in a couple of weeks. I'm not totally convinced that it's a wart but I'll see if it domes come off.

What's my point? I told you... I'M Not PSYCHOTIC!! There was something in my foot just like I tried to tell people and it could very well be a tracking device, it's not just in my head, it's not something that I'm making up. I told you, I told ALL of you that there really was something in my foot!

I'll has to wait and see if it does leave before I'm totally convinced it's not a metal chip, but I'm feeling so much better knowing that I was right all along.

It's good you went somewhere and got it checked out

If it was a metal chip I am sure the doctor could see that, so what reason would they have to say its something else? But either way if what the doctor suggests makes this thing in your foot go away....then its likely they're right about it being the wart.

Also though does your foot have a scar, as it would have had to be cut open for someone to put a chip in? And why would anyone want to go to all the trouble of doing that just to track you anyways? Either way hopefully this issue can be resolved...It seems to me there certainly is something in your foot causing discomfort but the likelyhood of it being a tracking device is pretty low...so not sure it could 'very well be' a tracking device as the probability of that just is not very high.

That said even if there was no tracking device and nothing in your foot to begin with....if you where 'psychotic' you wouldn't be 'making it up' you would be entirely convinced that it is one or that there is something even if there isn't which is way different than making something up.

I think you should be saluted for your vigilance. A bump in your skin might be a wart, a chip, or cancer. Most people don't think to check their feet.

It sounds like the bump in your skin was a wart, and it's good you got it taken care of. If the problem was a metal device, who do you think might be tracking you?

A friend of mine fell over while holding a small glass bottle. The bottle broke and shards of it went into the skin at the base of her thumb. She went to the doctor and they told her that all the shards were gone. But she could still feel something moving around inside. She was right. More pieces of glass started to work their way out of her skin. She went back to the doctor and they eventually got the rest of the glass out.

Hope it goes well for you with getting the foreign object out.

Good point. I've always heard that glass works it's way OUT and that metal works it's way IN which is why it is more dangerous to have under your skin.

Since I have chipped animals I know a tad about those chips. They make them as small as possible for the convenience of the animal, still they have not made them so small it is painless to inject them unfortunately.

They compare the chip size with a grain of rice, but I'd say it is at least twice as big. A chip this size you can fit basic information, like a string of data. It cannot hold massive amounts of information. Another thing that does not fit with that size is a power source. That means, you cannot read any data off the chip at a long distance. You have to send an electric pulse to read the chip. The chip reader does two things, it provides the chip with enough power to have it "send" the data, and it retrieves and reads the data also. With the weak power of the reader it is only possible to read data at very short distances, it just takes a few inches off and you will miss the chip.

The chip is encased in silicate which looks like plastic. The idea is for the chip to stay put, so the body will not shove it about or out. Despite this, sometimes chips travels a bit in the animal but I have never seen one coming out.
