The Debate Over Morgellons

Morgellons is a controversial and poorly understood condition in which unusual thread-like fibers appear under the skin. The patient may feel like something is crawling, biting, or stinging all over.

Some medical experts say Morgellons is a physical illness. Others suggest it is a type of psychosis called “delusional parasitosis,” in which a person thinks parasites have infected their skin.

Your doctor may call it an “unexplained dermopathy,” which means a skin condition that occurs without a known reason. Other medical professionals have dubbed the condition “fiber disease.”

Symptoms of Morgellons

Unpleasant skin sensations are the main complaint. People with Morgellons may also complain of:

Feeling like bugs are crawling all over the skin.
Burning or stinging sensations under the skin.
Intense itching.
Skin sores that appear suddenly and heal slowly.
Sores that leave very red (hyperpigmented) scars.

Some patients report thread-like fibers stuck in the skin.

People with Morgellons sometimes complain of other symptoms which may include:

Difficulty paying attention and concentrating
Extreme fatigue
Hair loss
Joint and muscle pain
Nervous system problems
Tooth loss
Sleep problems
Short-term memory loss

Treatment of Morgellons

There is no known cure for Morgellons. Treating any medical or psychiatric problems that occur at the same time as Morgellons may help ease Morgellons symptoms in some patients.

A team of medical researchers at the Mayo Clinic also recommend that patients with these symptoms should undergo psychiatric evaluation.
Who Gets Morgellons

In the past, few doctors had heard of Morgellons. But in response to scattered reports, the CDC worked together with several other health care agencies to investigate this condition. Most reports came from California, Texas, and Florida, although patients have been seen in all 50 states.

The CDC study found that Morgellons is most likely to affect middle-aged white women.

Many of the patients in the CDC study showed signs of being obsessively concerned about health problems in general. This is called somatic concerns.

About half of the people in the study had other health problems, including depression and drug abuse.
The Debate Over Morgellons

The question of whether Morgellons is a disease or a delusion has prompted debate and new research in recent years.

The CDC states that the condition is not caused by an infection or anything in the environment.

The CDC study also included a lab analysis of skin fibers in Morgellons patients. The analysis showed that these fibers were mostly cotton, such as typically found in clothing or bandages.

CDC research also revealed that the skin sores seemed to be the result of long-term picking and scratching the skin.

The CDC report goes on to say: “We were not able to conclude, based on this study, whether this unexplained dermopathy represents a new condition, as has been proposed by those who use the term Morgellons, or wider recognition of an existing condition such as delusional parasitosis.”

The results of the CDC study have been archived and are no longer updated. The CDC does not plan to do any further research on the matter.

Besides the CDC, other research teams have contributed to the debate on Morgellons.

Previous case studies and research have suggested that Morgellons may be linked to Lyme disease. Some patients with signs and symptoms of Morgellons had tested positive for the bacteria that causes Lyme disease.

But according to Morgellons researchers at Oklahoma State University, there is no evidence to prove this theory. Likewise, there was no evidence of Lyme infection in any of the people in the CDC study.

A 2010 study found a potential link between Morgellons symptoms and an underactive thyroid (hypothyroidism). More research needs to be done to further investigate this finding.

Morgellons also appears similar to a condition seen in cattle called bovine digital dermatitis, which is due to an infection, according to a 2011 study. But no conclusions can be reached from these small studies.)) is a spider mite infestation.

I know, the mystery is much more interesting, but what if that’s all that is. Being infested with spider mites that inoculate you with their eggs, the eggs develop into nymphs, the nymphs come out of your anus or sometimes your vagina, and need to still feed on you, so they bite you.

The spider mites consider you food… and attempt to immobilize you with spider web…

The mites are tiny, and the fiber like spider web pieces are tiny too.

What none of the researchers did, none of the doctors, not the CDC is actually observe.
