So I’m sorry if this could be obvious but I’ve been riding just a few months and don’t know much about anything lol. Today I was washing my bike after the weekend ride and noticed this blue…cord? Coming apparently from one of the spokes holes, what is it? Is it dangerous? Should I cut it? Should I take the wheel and tube apart? Help

My best guess is some rim tap that’s fraying and whoever build the wheel got some stuck in the spoke nipple.
I’d cut it and forget about it.
It’s not from a brush you used to wash the bike?
Your tire has worms. Rub some ivermectin on there.
Probably not it, but the only other thing I can’t think of is that it is a line of dried sealant? What type of sealant do you use in your tires? I’ve never seen it come out like this though, it usually just forms a layer of pasty dry cake on the tire that is a nightmare to remove
Any chance you wash your bike with a blue bristle brush? 🙃
Your tire has aids
Dont wash ur bike too much as u will damage it, maybe wipe the sliders & a quick spray of the garden hose avoiding the hubs/bottom bracket/fork bearings. Id be lucky to wash my bike once a year…
floss or fishing line
looks like your bike is totaled
