Many medical professionals that say Morgellons is a hoax. If only they had the misfortune to experience Morgellons first hand. Mary Leitao, an ex lab technician, coined the word after her young son began showing symptoms of lesions and growth of fibers. While searching the literature she discovered that the symptoms were initially reported by Sir Thomas Browne in 1674--350 years ago. Perhaps its been around since then but until 2002 when Ms. Leitao noticed the symptoms in her son no medical professional has reported it. Unfortunately many who see help from their doctor with these same symptoms are diagnosed by their doctor as suffering from delusional parasitosis and if two people from the same family have the same symptoms its diagnosed as folie a deux or if three people have it it's folie a trois. Sir Thomas Brown described the symptoms as some kind of worm-like parasite crawling just under the skin creating stinging, itching, and biting sensations accompanied by a bright colored parasite that borrows out of the skin for a few moments and then back into the skin. From where does it come? How does one catch it? Answer: There are many different organism that carry the infection. A backed up cesspool was the cause of one lady's infection. A certain type of bacteria was found in her home in high levels. Slime mold infected another lady. Pets and stray animals infect others. And there are many who are infected who have no idea of how they were infected. Going to one's doctor for help is always the first step. The sad news is that with respect to Morgellons disease, doctors are totally at a loss as to what to do. The reality is that many doctors blame the symptoms on the patient suffering from Morgellons. Doctors accuse Morgellons sufferers of scratching themselves to the point of creating lesions and rashes. This is confusing for me. How a doctor can examine the lesions, rashes, and crazy fibers protruding from the skin (that are fluorescent) and say that they can't find anything wrong. And after taking blood tests and biopsies that identify nothing and then tell the Morgellons sufferer that there is no causative agent for the symptoms. It would make sense to send these patients for study to local universities or at least report the symptoms to the CDC. Instead they simply do nothing and send the Morgellons sufferer home. Yes, they might refer the Morgellons sufferer to a parasitologist, or an infectious disease specialist, or a dermatologist and the end result is the same, they get dismissed. The amazing thing is that many physicians believe that their patients, who have Morgellons symptoms, simply have too much time on their hands or spend too much time on the internet. But Morgellons disease is real and has led many to consider suicide. And usually the only way a Morgellon's disease sufferer identifies it is to search the internet. Usually they search for "skin parasites" or "itchy skin parasites." It's not until the person who has Morgellon's disease discovers what it is that they also learn that their home has been completely invaded. They learn that the Morgellons parasite has spread throughout their homes and even if they could miraculously get rid of Morgellon's disease they would become reinfected as soon as they returned home. In fact anyone visiting them or riding in their car could likewise contract the disease. Nothing is exempt. Morgellons disease could be spead in public transportation to the next person sitting in a seat. Along with the intense biting, itching, and stinging with fibers are also reported things like bug like things coming from the skin, hard nodules under the skin, body temperature of 96 degrees instead of 98.6 degrees, non healing lesions or sores, black specs, cotton-like balls, and flakes or sand-like granules coming from the skin. In time, other complications arise such as fibromyalgia, brain fog, fatigue, rashes, and hair loss. The road to recovery is two fold--treat the body and disinfect the home. Both must be done simultaneously otherwise reinfection never ends. The process is just like learning to drive a car with a clutch. Let out the clutch to quickly and the engine chokes. If you let out the clutch too slowly the engine races. Treating the house is done utilizing substances like diluted laundry grade ammonia to substances such as Klean Green. Treating the body involves using debriding agents to cleanse the skin, a special diet to cut down morgellons activity, special supplements, probiotics and so on to build immune functioning. The good news is that with the right direction, there is life after Morgellons' disease. Richard Kuhns, author of Soothing the Itch Within and the Diet to Control It.
