There is confusion over the type of hair that was reportedly found. Let me add to that confusion with the following offering.
Ive seen it reported using three different words: auxiliary, axillary, and ancillary. Without seeing the actual lab results, we dont really know which is correct. It would be as easy for a reporter to get this wrong (if he/she were even able to see the report) as it would be for any one of us.
Auxiliary and ancillary both mean the same thing; and if describing hair, would indicate secondary or subordinate hair. Assumedly this would be any hair besides the hair that grows on the top of our heads (eyebrows, pubic, chest, leg, arm, and yes armpit). Axillary is specific to one certain area -- the axilla, the armpit, or oxter (to some of our British posters). If the lab report said it was axillary, then it came from the armpit. If the report said it was ancillary, it could have been from almost anywhere on the shedders body.
Additionally, with information from personal experience, whether or not it is pertinent but nevertheless something to consider is that Patsy had undergone chemotherapy just several years earlier. I dont know if everyone realizes it, but the chemo that Patsy received caused all of her hair to fall out -- every single eyebrow, eyelash, arm hair, leg hair, head hair, pubic hair, and nose hair on her body. That is why you can look at a person going through chemo and tell, even if they wear a wig (the insurance companies call it a cranial prosthesis, but they only pay for one if the person needing it is female), false eyelashes, and painted on eyebrows. After chemo is stopped and the effects begin wearing off, the hair slowly begins growing back. It is not always the same as it was before losing it all. For some, when it begins growing back, it is something they are thrilled to have -- even in places it wasnt wanted before having lost it. As an example, since the armpit hair is still fragile, thin, and sparse when it begins growing, the person may be reluctant (or at least hesitant) to begin having to shave again. I cant say this was the case with Patsy, and we dont know for certain if the dubious hair was axillary, ancillary, or auxiliary. And as gramcracker has so meticulously researched and posted (WTG, gram), it is sometimes difficult to scientifically determine the source of some hairs.
Because of past reporting, we can all find articles that call it different things. And we can also find articles that attribute it variously to a Ramsey or not. Until we know for sure exactly what the lab results are, it is senseless to speculate on its relevance.
All JMHO.
