A cut open Seefa Plant.
The Seefa Plant is a plant species native to the Ner'ald planet. The Ner'ald people cut open Seefa plants and use the microbes that live inside for drawing designs on their bodies. The Seefa microbes are non toxic, green in color and shimmer in the light.
Overview[]
When the Seefa plant microbes are put unto Tau'ri skin they don't just stay where their put like Ner'ald skin. They continue to grow all over the body of the Tau'ri, keeping an intricate design pattern as they spread. However, if left to grow it will continue growing until it covers the entire body.
The Ner'ald's rarely every remove their designs, but they can with a salve made out of mud from a mineral spring.
Along with the mud salve, a giant bug species on the Ner'ald planet can also get rid of the Seefa plant microbe. The bug can suck it off of the person's skin.
History[]
Ner'ald's applying Seefa microbes.
Using the Seefa plant and its microbes to make designs on their bodies is part of the Ner'ald heritage of their women, going back as far as hundreds of generations.
Stacey Bonner got some of the Seefa microbes placed onto her skin. After it was revealed it would keep growing, Gus Bonner took her to the mineral spring for the mud to remove it, however the spring was all dried up. One of the planet's bugs then sucked it off. (INF: "The Illustrated Stacey")
