is affecting thousands of people in the Bay Area, along the Gulf Coast,

Florida and through out the world. The disease is called Morgellons, and no one

knows what causes it or if it's even a real skin disorder. People with weird

symptoms with no alternatives available at the moment; find comfort and a

diagnosis on the Internet. After more than a year of pressure from patients

convi

nced they have Morgellons, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention

will begin investigating the ailment for the first time and determine, once and

for all, whether the Morgellons disease exists.

It was named 2002 by Mary Leitao in McMurray, Pa. Leitao named the condition

Morgellons Disease, after a disease with similar symptoms mentioned in a

16th-century medical text, while investigating a skin condition on her then two

year old son. Nobody had every heard about it before then. Till this day, few

doctors have heard of the condition; fewer still know what to make of it.

Most in the medical community dismiss it as a hoax, scabies, Lyme disease or a

mental condition called Delusional Parasitosis. Delusional Parasitosis is a

mistaken belief that one is being infested by parasites such as mites, lice,

fleas, spiders, worms, bacteria, or other organisms.

Most victims with this skin disease report painful crawling, stinging, and

biting sensations, as well as non-healing skin lesions, which are associated

with fiber like or filamentous structures. Victims as well have reported the

presence of seed-like granules and black speck-like material above and in

their lesions. The reaction of medical professionals has made a difficult

situation even harder for victims. Dermatologists claim the filaments are all

delusions, although none had taken the time to even study them.

Oklahoma State University Professor Randy Wymore was the first scientist to

conduct research on this skin disease. He says it's the biggest mystery he's

ever been involved in. Wymore says his tests rule out not only textile fibers,

but also worms, insects, animal material and even human skin and hair. He

says the filaments are not an external contamination. Instead, they are a

substance that materializes somehow inside the body, apparent artifacts of

something infectious. If no medical professionals take the time to study this,

we

may never know the truth as it continues to spread.

This site is Dedicated to my close friend who suffers from the disease and

almost died from the mental strain this has placed on him and his family.
