Guest guest Posted February 26, 2006 Report Share Posted February 26, 2006 http://morgellons.org/index.html Welcome to our website This non-profit foundation is dedicated to finding the cause of an emerging infectious disease, which mimics scabies and lice. We refer to this infectious disease as " Morgellons Disease " , due to the need for a consistent label when contacting politicians and health departments. The cause of Morgellons Disease is currently a medical mystery. Most individuals with this disease report disturbing crawling, stinging, and biting sensations, as well as non-healing skin lesions, which are associated with highly unusual structures. These structures can be described as fiber-like or filamentous, and are the most striking feature of this disease. In addition, patients report the presence of seed-like granules and black speck-like material associated with their skin. Neurological function severely affected The peripheral nervous system is often affected by this disease, but the most significant element of the infection, appears to be the effect on the central nervous sytem. Nearly all people with this illness report extreme difficulty with mental concentration and short term memory. Mood disorders, such as depression and Bipolar Disorder, are extremely common in this group of patients, affecting well over half of all individuals reporting symptoms of Morgellons Disease. Parents of children with Morgellons disease report that the majority of these children have ADHD, ODD, mood disorders, or autism. It is estimated that 65% of these children have some form of psychiatric illness, and 10% have an autism spectrum disorder. http://lymebusters.proboards39.com/index.cgi Welcome to Lymebusters Message Board.
