Unconfirmed reports indicate that the mylar is a recently derived result of genetic manipulation of an unknown precursor animal. The original experimenter who created this mutant species apparently had prior employment in the "sex toy" industry and reportedly is in hiding and inaccessible due to threatened prosecution in several jurisdictions associated with his earlier research. It is thus impossible to obtain sufficient of the original research notes to assess the safety or stability of the species.

The wild mylars found in the Himalayas reportedly are the offspring of test animals that escaped during the creator's flight from prosecution on earlier charges. Other populations appear to exist, as mylar hides come from numerous areas; but consistency of mutant strains is poorly assessed.

The critical factor to be considered is that, as a recently created, manipulated, specie, the mylar is subject to frequent and rapid mutation, and may in fact already have assimilated mutatant genetic components via crossing with undesirable infectious agents affecting humans.

The exact form of the infection transmitted to humans is still a subject of debate in scientific circles, but the claim has been made that persons frequently exposed to mylar skins have been observed as incorporating "plastic" performance elements in their use of the skins, possibly as a result of having their genetic structure affected by the well know plasticalis obsenicus moderniroculus organism.

Further research pending.
