Many doctors 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. Maybe the disease has been around during the 350 years but until she reported the symptoms in 2002, no one in the medical community 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.
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. Testing her home revealed a high level of a certain bacteria. 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.
Those who are infected immediately turn to their physician for help. But doctors are totally ill equipped to identify much less treat Morgellons disease. Many physicians believe the symptoms are from the patient scratching their bodies to the point of creating rashes.
This has always confused me. How a health care professional can inspect the lesions, rashes, and strange fibers protruding from the skin (that are fluorescent) and announce that there is nothing wrong. How they can take biopsies and do blood tests and when nothing is identified say that there is no reason for the symptoms. Why aren't these doctors sending their patients to local universities for study or reporting them to the CDC? Instead they simply do nothing and send the Morgellons sufferer home. Yes, they might refer the Morgellons sufferer to a an infectious disease specialist, or a parasitologist, or a dermatologist and the result is pretty much the same--they are dismissed. And would you believe that many doctors actually believe that their patients who complain of the symptoms spend too much time on the internet or simply have too much time on their hands.
But Morgellons disease is real and has led many to consider suicide. Searching the internet is usually the only way a Morgellons disease sufferer identifies Morgellons. Usually they search for "skin parasites" or "itchy skin parasites." By the time the Morgellons sufferer discovers the reality of morgellons disease, they find that Morgellons has completely invaded their home. They discover that Morgellons has totally consumed their home and even it they could somehow leave their home to get rid of Morgellons that they would be again infected upon returning home. And any one riding in their car or visiting them could also pick up Morgellon's disease. Nothing is exempt. Morgellons disease could be spead in public transportation to the next person sitting in a seat. Along with the intense itching, biting and stinging with fibers are also reported things like hard nodules under the skin, cotton-like balls, non healing lesions or sores, body temperature of 96 degrees instead of 98.6 degrees, black specs, and bug like things coming from the skin.
Later other health issues kick in brain fog, fatigue, and fibromyalgia.
The road to recovery is two fold--treat the body and disinfect the home. It's absolutely important that both be done simultaneously to keep reinfection from occurring over and over. The process is just like learning to drive a car with a clutch. Let out the clutch to quickly and the engine chokes. If on the other hand the clutch is let out too slowly, the engine races. Disinfecting the home is done using one or more agents such as diluted laundry grade ammonia to substances such as cedarcide. To treat the body it is important to use a debriding agent, a special diet to reduce morgellons activity, special supplements, probiotics and so on to build immune functioning. Yes, there is life after Morgellons and that is the good news.
