Morgellons Disease Pictures and Story
The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention announced today that it is launching a study to learn about an unexplained condition that causes people to feel as if they have foreign substances growing from their bodies.
People with the condition, referred to as Morgellons disease, say they have fibers and other inorganic material growing out of their skin.
“We earnestly want to learn more about this unexplained illness, which affects the lives of those who suffer from it,” said Dr. Michele Pearson, principal investigator leading the study for the CDC, in a press release. “Those who suffer have questions, and we want to help them.”
“We have a team of epidemiologists, laboratorians and pathologists to carry out the study,” Pearson said.
The study will be conducted in conjunction with Kaiser Permanente’s Northern California Division of Research. For more information, CLICK HERE to visit the CDC’s Unexplained Dermopathy Web site.
In 2006, a number of Morgellons sufferers told ABC News in interviews that when they consulted doctors, they received diagnoses they called wrong or dismissive. Brandi Koch, the wife of former Major League Baseball player Billy Koch, said that she felt as if she were living in a horror movie, claiming she had colored fibers coming out of her skin.
Koch, of Clearwater Beach, Fla., said that her life was good until one day in the shower when she noticed something strange — tiny fibers running through her skin.
“The fibers look like hair, and they’re different colors,” Koch said.
Koch said she knows that what she experienced “sounds crazy,” but it’s true. “If I had a family member call me up and say, ‘I have this stuff,’ I’d say, ‘I’m sending a straitjacket over. You need some help,’” she said.
Anne Dill described a similar condition. Looking at Dill’s life in Florida, she seemed to be living the American dream — her three daughters excelled in sports and were straight-A students.
But life in the Dill household was far from idyllic. Anne’s 40-year-old husband, Tom, died in January 2006, and she believes his death was due to a contagious illness that has infected her entire family.
Dill described her family’s skin: “There’s this fibrous material. It’s in layers.” Dill said the skin on their hands was particularly bad, very swollen and itchy, and said it felt as if bugs were crawling underneath the skin.
Consulting Doctors
Dr. Greg Smith of Gainesville, Ga., has been a pediatrician for the past 30 years. He claimed that a fiber was coming out of his big toe, and he had video footage to prove it.
“It felt like somebody stuck a pin in my toe and wiggled it, and it just continued to hurt,” Smith told ABC News in 2006.
He said he never thought he had bugs. “I’ve certainly had those crawling sensations, and the fibers which come out of the skin are really bizarre, and really odd.”
Smith was handed over to a hospital psychiatrist when he went to the emergency room complaining of a fiber in his eye. He admits that he, too, would be skeptical if a patient came to him with the same story.
“I would wonder if they’d taken their medicine that day. It makes no sense. It’s totally bizarre. It’s something that — just telling the story is so outlandish on the face of it — that no one would believe it,” Smith said. Dill’s doctor told her to stop scratching, even though many of her sores were in places she could not reach.
Koch went to the Mayo Clinic, where doctors didn’t believe that the fibers she’d brought them had grown from her body.
“I saw the infectious disease doctor, and I showed him some samples that I had and he snickered,” she said. “I can’t go through another doctor blowing me off or looking at me like I’m crazy. I know I’m not.”
Dr. Vincent DeLeo, chief of dermatology at New York’s St. Lukes-Roosevelt Medical Center, weighed in on what he’d say to someone who came to him with this condition. “I don’t think this is any different than many patients I’ve seen who have excoriations and believe that there is something in their skin causing this,” he told ABC News in 2006.
DeLeo said the open lesions were most likely a result of scratching the skin.
Relying on Your Own Research
But biologist Mary Leitao refused to accept the medical skepticism surrounding Morgellons.
Leitao’s son, Drew, was just 2 years old when Leitao noticed an odd sore on his lip that would not heal.
“He very simply said ‘bugs,’ and he pointed to his lips,” said Leitao.
Leitao never expected to find herself at the center of a medical storm. But when her son complained about the strange sore, the biologist, who once ran the electron microscope at Massachusetts General Hospital in Boston, did what any scientist would do. She took a closer look.
“What I saw were bundles of fibers, *** of fibers,” Leitao says. “There was red and blue.” Even stranger, they glowed under ultraviolet light.
Armed with research, Leitao took her son to a doctor at one of the country’s leading hospitals. He dismissed her tale of fibers and wrote to her pediatrician, saying that her son needed Vaseline for his lips and that his mother needed a thorough psychiatric evaluation.
Undaunted, Leitao began poring through medical literature looking for clues. What she discovered was a 17th-century reference to a strange disease with “harsh hairs” called “Morgellons.”
She named the strange fibers Morgellons disease and put the information on a Web site, Morgellons.org. At the time of her interview in 2006, more than 4,500 people had contacted Leitao, claiming they had Morgellons-type symptoms. The name stuck, and the disease was featured on the television show “ER.”
But do these fibers grow from inside the body, as Morgellons patients believe, or do they come from the external environment — a kind of lint — as the medical skeptics say?
Searching for an Answer
Forensic scientist Ron Pogue at the Tulsa Police Crime Lab in Oklahoma checked a Morgellons sample against known fibers in the FBI’s national database. “No, no match at all. So this is some strange stuff,” Pogue said in 2006. He thought the skeptics were wrong. “This isn’t lint. This is not a commercial fiber. It’s not.”
The lab’s director, Mark Boese, said the fibers are “consistent with something that the body may be producing.” He added that, “These fibers cannot be manmade and do not come from a plant. This could be a byproduct of a biological organism.”
Dill said she looks at pictures of her family and finds them unrecognizable. “My kids have to see not only their dad but their mom disintegrating, and that’s gotta be really scary.”
While they wait for evidence that they hope will convince the medical community to take them seriously, some Morgellon’s sufferers wear pink bracelets that say, simply, “Fortitude.”

why is the Morgelons forum message board closed? Or is this a message board and is this site the way to communicated with others who have Morgellons or have a family member as I do with Morgellons? My daughter is 31 and has all the same symptoms and I don’t know what to do for her. I have made her appts with allergist and dermatologists but assume they will think it is all in her head and not pay much attention to her samples? Why is it when she calls me to come over and see something when I come it’s not longer there?
Pls someone respond and if interested give out your emails address so we an communicate.
Thanks and sorry for you all – I think I’d have a heart attack due to being so terrified. Bless you all.
My 31 year old believes she has morgellons and everything she says matches exactly what the symptoms for morgellons is. Can I contact any of you for help or addition information – is there anything out there or dr. that has help? We just bought an air purifier but I will let daughter know that per one of the letters on this website – air purifier makes them multiply.
Please help and I need to talked with someone on this subject. Please email me.
Thanks so much
Melinda

We are almost sure that this is what my uncle has. It started about 3 years ago. He started talking about feeling things crawling under his skin. Then over time he started having soars appear on his skin. Next was the fibers, we thought they were worms. We have taken him to the doctor so many times. They tell us we are crazy and said we need mental help not medical. Now he locks himself in his room for days and no one sees him. He cant remember anything and he can barly think for himself. The depression has gotten so bad all he talks about is wanting to die. He is in constant pain and sleeps all the time. He has lost about 30 pounds and looks sickly thin. Now his wife it getting the same soars on her back and is having reports of the same type of pain. No doctor will listen to us! I am not a doctor but I am a senior nursing student and I know something is medically wrong. No one told us about this we just stumbled upon it the other day. He talks about things crawling under his skin all the time and then they come out of his skin. He just talks out of his head all the time now. Him and his wife say they are just waiting to die now because they cant take it any more and are tried of being told they are crazy. We dont know what to do. I have a feeling we are going to lose my aunt and uncle if they cant find help.
I have been dealing with Morgellons for 21 years now. Whilst there is no cure for this mental punishing life degrading disease at this time there is more and more hope and help coming forward as more and more people come down with this disease including scientists and doctors themselves an army of knowledge and studying is taking place not by the mainstream doctors/dematologists/parasitologists even the government run CDC but from the sufferers themselves. 21 years ago I thourght it was just me going mad but then thanks to a Tropical Disease Doctor the only one person to help me in dozens who I have seen all top notch professionals in their fields (haha) which lead me to the word Morgellons I have learn’t more in 1 year than in the previous 20. There will be a cure to this and when that day comes as it will. Please start drinking heavily and celebrate. In the meantime go to http://www.morgellonsuk.org.uk/ and hit on latest research they are very close to breaking the curse. It will help your mental strength. Also I have had good help (not a cure) with mixing Nutra Silver with the new Silver Gel thats just come out. Applying to my nasal passages, my ears, my eyes and scalp. You will find a major improvement without to much energy on your part, both products are not expensive. http://www.nutrasilver.com and Sliver Defense and http://www.healthyhabitsweb.com. As far as the chemtrails scewing us all up, do not breathe in the particles that fall from the sky, do not get them in your hair or on your skin. When you go out to your yard to work cover yourself from head to toe, including a face mask so you do not breathe in the webbary that has landed from the chemtrails and to the scientist who made the disease for warfare I hope you die a thousand times and suffer and thousand more from the inflicted pain you have given to a growing population all over the world you f’ing coward. Oh and have a nice day!
This is a horrible and aggravating condition! I feel so badly for anyone who is suffering from this! I poured baby oil over my body hoping to slough off some of whatever it is. Tiny red fibers came oozing out of my skin. A wormish looking thing came out of my armpit, and also a sore. I am also getting older, but the rate at which I am aging isn’t normal. I keep falling, have drop foot, muscle pains, neuropathy, and stinging sensations on my scalp. I would douse myself in motor oil if I thought it would stop this. The ER doctor could only saw the red fibers, were fibers, not worms. There were hundreds of them. The kindest thing that could happen to me, is that I not wake. No one should have to live this way. The depression is very bad. Nothing helps. It’s very late/early, I cannot sleep. I believe there is an explanation for this. There have been thousands of black specks and granules that I cannot describe. Heaven help us all.
I had an outbreak of this very strange and tenacious condition. I noticed these strange colored fibers under a 4x magnifying glass because wanted to see what was causing this untreatable rash and intense itching. I contracted it in 2008 after staying with a friend who had unclean bird cages, a guinea pig cage, and dogs who were not kept clean all living inside her house. I thought this might be the area of contamination. Today this condition is under control.
It seems to manifest itself in phases. First in a round sore resembling a ring worm with an initial sting or needle piercing sensation. Next, an outbreak of red rash spots that become symmetrical on the body–a rash on one leg, then a rash outbreak on the other leg in the same area. Then a dry scaly patch over the rash develops, lessening the itch. Now, it’s a cluster of small bumps mostly on the back of my upper arms and on small areas of my legs.
The only way I treated it was with a combination of Gold Bond triple action cream (OTC)and penicillin(prescribed) applied topically. Many doses of prescribed internal medicine was of no effect whatsoever; neither was any topical cream prescribed for what doctors like to generaly diagnose as eczema. I discovered that by opening the penicillin capsule and using a mixture of just a small amount of the powder with the cream, I received great relief. The rash crusted over and the irritation greatly decreased. This needs to be applied at least 2x daily to keep the itch and spread under control. I topped it off with petroleum jelly when it really got out of control–such as when it spread on one half of my face. That was embarrassing!
Whenever the rash seems to become inflamed again on the outside of my skin, I will reapply this mixture and receive relief. I found that after this mixture is applied and you let it stay on for 30 minutes or more, the rash substance will ‘peel’ off. You just have to keep scruffing it off the affected area till it’s ‘clean’ of the dead skin (or organism).
This rash seems to ‘travel,’ so if one area is treated it will creep over to another part of the area–strange. Therefore, the mixture should be spread on the infection as well as the area around it.
The best solution is to try this first on the small area of infection before it spreads at frightening speed. I don’t use the word ‘frightening’ lightly. It has been an expensive ordeal when seeking help from doctors have no answer, nor do they have a diagnoses or a remedy. I was very disappointed in the general diagnoses of medical professionals that I consulted. Staph infection and eczema are general conditions that need a specific category of diagnosis. It’s like receiving a diagnosis of a ‘cough’ when the actual condition for an illness is whooping cough or bronchitis.
I hope this has been some help to anyone struggling with this condition.
STANINGER IS A FRAUD! 4 OF HER SITES/FORUMS HAVE ALREADY BEEN SHUT DOWN, HER COMPANY NAME CHANGES NAMES MORE OFTEN THAN MOST PEOPLE CHANGE THEIR UNDERWARE.. BEWARE, THERE IS NO CURE!! NOT YET ANYWAY, TOO MANY PEOPLE DOING STUPID THINGS THAT ARE HURTING THEM WORSE, BECAUSE OF FRAUDS LIKE STANNINGER…

can anyone help us???
^I mean INTERNAL parasite, obviously, or internal ailment..
hi guys, me and my aunt live in the uk as well, we both have the same sorta thing going on, with regards to the fibres, they seem to be white on us, small enough to look like hair folicles, just wormy-er.. she has worse physical skin marks on her than me and is certain she feels these things moving and see’s them moving and attacking her and just wants to stop it, me personally i have just left the pimples alone, i dont want to pick them, i have a few and i have the same thing but i dont want to spread whatever it is about, my symptoms appear to be the later stages, as in i can bearly se hear or think, my intellegence has declined and i feel like im wearing a tight hood around my head all the time, leaving me stupid and confused.. its very strange, like all of you we have been told we are mad, any help for us?
my deepest sympathies and condolence for all who have, who are,is still suffering in physical and mental and emotional realms being the ist documented victims of the horrifying disease(that finally got ID or some minut attention) my prayers for and with you in your loney and devestating road of this condition. don’t dispair!!!
TRUST yourself to be sane and let the unedicated and even the educated ignorance and arrogance discourage you. II was phauge with this but didn’t know nor did any of the small rual minds mds iin my area knew anything about this. I wwas given antibodics (3rounds in 8months) and given steriods to build up mmy stystem. they said it was staph infection, lupus, and then a blood infectio. I finially took matters into mown legs(where it took hold)I made an oold healers brew I somehow recieved tthru a healing helpers dream from my mmother(who was the 6th medicine/healer bborn to her linage)the witches brew (named because I use to mock my mothers uunsual methods of treatments.)was made fwith 1/3 tabacco, 1/3 baking soda, m mmanderine/orange/citrus teas, and wwrapped my blistering stinging rotting llegs up in hot towels soaked in brew ofor several hours a day for weeks till tthe pain stopped gradually and the wwounds even looked like they might hheal.It was hell here on earth to be wwith ridden by this evil curse, to top ooff a death of a dear but heavy friend aand to have to find new home(went into mmotel living) it’s truely a cruelty of awretched curse from where we are yet tto know and the cure for now is to hhave hope. hold on sanity,self trust.and take care of you by keeping safe,sanitary lots of tlc rest.
Maybe not a cure, but worth taking a look at for all the Morgellon’s sufferers. I take colloidal silver daily to keep healthy, came across this while scouring the net. If it helps just one or two people, then it’s definitely worth it. Good luck and God bless everyone who is suffering from this ailment.
Must disagree with Ahopeful that morg is not manmade. The fibers are sometimes difficult to burn and they are not killed with alcohol, ammonia or even straight bleach. If you soak a morg victim’s hairbrush in a glass of pure clorox bleach for 2 hours or more, the human hair completely disolves…but the morg fiber remain in full tact…and some are still active. Soooo, I do believe we need another way to combat and disassemble these non-organic creatures. All we know now is to boost our immune systems, stay as clean as possible, keep researching and to pray.
try using pure peppermint essential oil.
I AM SO GLAD I HAVE FIGURED OUT WHAT( OF COURSE ON MY OWN )WHAT IS GOING ON IN MY BODY AND MY SONS AND DAUGHTERS( MY HUSBAND AS WELL) BUT HE IS IN DENIAL AND JUST CONTINUES TO TELL ME I AM CRAZY ALONG WITH MY MOTHER AND THE DOCTORS. I TREATED MYSELF WITH A SCABIES CREAM AND THESE UNEXPLAINABLE THINGS STARTED HAPPENING IN MY HOUSE AND MY BODY. I SAVED EVERYTHING I WAS SEEING AND SENT IT TO INDY DERMATOLOGY WITH ME. HE TOLD ME IT WAS “DIRT, SCABS AND EVEN MAYBE JELLY DRIED IN MY DAUGHTERS HAIR EVEN THOUGH WE HAD ALL JUST SHOWERED BEFORE WE WENT. HE WAS RIGHT WE DID NOT HAVE SCABIES WE HAVE SOMETHING MUCH WORSE. I HAVE EXHAUSTED MYSELF TRYING TO EDUCATED THESE UNDER EDUCATED DOCTORS IN MY SMALL HOME TOWN. JUST LIKE ALL YOU OTHER SUFFERS THEY LOOK AT ME LIKE YOUR LOOSING IT. I WAS OFFERED A SCRIPT OF XANAX AND TOLD TO “QUIT” PICKING. MY OWN DAMN HUSBAND OF 13 YEARS WILL NOT LOOK OR LISTEN TO WHAT I AM SAYING. I HAVE NOTICED THAT THERE ARE LARGE AMOUNTS OF THEM IN NICOTINE, MARIJUANA, AND SUGARS????? I APRRECIATE ALL THE HELPFUL HINTS AND THANK GOD I AM NOT ALONE. I FEEL AS IF THE GOVERMENT WILL NOT GIVE THE MONEY NEEDED TO THE CDC FOR THE RESEARCH NEEDED BECAUSE THEY KNOW WHAT IT IS AND WHAT IT IS FROM. DOES EVERYBODY HAVE THIS??? IS THIS THE CAUSES OF ALL DISEASE?? ONLY GOD CAN HELP US NOW(
my condition excels if i have little sleep the night before. i have come to find that dip, prefferably copenhagen or kodiak (due to large amounts of nicotine) definitely piss these guys off. By “these guys,” i mean seemingly hundreds, maybe thousands, of little hair-like worm things that tend to pop up out of the skin “disguised” as hair.
i have used no substance to intentionally relieve myself of these little itchy, sometimes painful problems, other than large amounts of alcohol and nicotine, two natural pesticides lol. On a serious note, i believe i have made some credible discoveries about the “fibers” inside of me;
-i have come across black AND white/silver fibers
-i have shaven these fibers from my skin, and it’s almost like they retaliate, as i feel a stinging sensation in one or several areas around the same area.
-i have seen both “shaven” (cutting them in half does NOT kill them…) and unshaven fibers (still halfway-lodged in my skin) more-or-less “spit” smaller, lint-like fibers and particles either into the air or into nearby areas of the skin.
Weird as it sounds, i am serious. i believe that these fibers are either emitting offspring, or creating some sort of mass structure (hense, the “layers” of fibers described in the article). I have used no microscopes, magnifying glasses, hell, even my video camera isn’t high-quality enough to pick up these skinny things. However, i am close to positive. I have placed “plucked” fibers and “shaved” fibers into two seperate ziploc baggies, and not long after the larger (still tiny..) fibers are soon immersed in smaller, similar, seemingly less-mature fibers. Don’t know what this means, but these little things aren’t playing games. It’s a miserable life that I can’t escape from. ESPECIALLY knowing that these things are constructing and multiplying and even “slithering” (yes, i hav observed ‘hairs’ slithering through shallow layers of skin on my hands) throughout my body. This includes ALL skin surfaces, my inner nose, scalp, inner ears, and even my eyeballs and eyelids. I have plucked them from my very eyelids only to literally see them “squirm” into the very fingers that excavated them. It hurts when this happens.
Like i said, it’s horrible and they aren’t playing games.
just want to say, the government have alot to answer for my friends. check out abovetopsecret.com and the possible link between chemtrails, you know these long lasting vapour trails in our skies that spread until the whole sky is clouded over. they are doing experiments on the public with airborn spraying, just look at the skies on a clear day and watch the planes spray, make your own mind up. the illuminati nwo plan is population control and reduction, don’t be afraid to question what these scumbags are upto, all the best dan uk.
Hi there, glad I found this site. I have had a strange rash for a few years on my back. It starts outs as blistery type of things, then I scratch and they turn to scabs. They take a very long time to heal. I have been having this crawly feeling like bugs crawling on me for a long time now, at least a year or two. I will feel a “stinging” sensation, then look down at the area where I got “bit” or whatever and there is usually a flaky piece of skin….so I take my nail to rub it off, and then there is a red dot there. This goes on all the time, anywhere, anytime …….I feel like something is crawling on me, stinging me or biting me. I also get the sensation that there is fuzzy stringy things on my body too. Oh, and most times, I feel these tiny little grains of salt like things. Sometimes white, sometimes, black. Sometimes, when I scratch off a scab it looks like there is a thread or a few threads sticking out of it. I used to get hairs growing out of the side of my face overnight, like an inch or two long! My daughter loves to pull those out. I feel like I have lice, as my head is itching all the time, and it feels like little sores are all over my head, but there is not any lice when I do the lice comb checks! I am baffled as hell here, and don’t have alot of faith in the doctors nowdays. Do you think it could be Morgellons? I have not magnified them as of yet,but think that that would be a good place to start. Right now, I have sores in my head, on my arms, legs, and also have had a couple of MRSA infections in the last year. I wonder if they could be related? Do you think?? Help, I feel like I am going crazy and don’t know what to do??
PS I forgot to add that these lint particles quadrupled when I bought an air purifier. The hepa filter seemed to be escaping into the air causing more problems than before. I also set off the roach bombs that didn’t help one bit.
I’ve been to 3 Docs in the past 10 months and finally gave up. For close to 7 months now I’ve suffered from a baffling skin condition that feels as though insects are crawling on me (and sometimes like thin threads or lint have landed on my face or arms). I constantly use box tape and those lint tape but only find loads of blue, black and red lint, black chips and dots that I cant ID as anything even with a magnifyer. This sensation is primarily on my jaws, forehead, ears, temples, scalp and hair – - even in my eyes. I swat, rub, scratch, wash, etc., etc. all day and night, but find no evidence of a visible, tangible source. I’ve been getting a crawly feeling around the toes and fingers lately, but not prior to this month. It occurs mainly in my home and car, and at the office. I feel like a walking germ!!!!
At times it feels like a sharp needle or cactus has stuck me. A few times pain in my ear has occurred. Numerous moles and blotches have appeared on my arms, chest, and torso. Some are red and raised, some flat and black. (the dermatologist said the moles are normal?? – not for me!) I DO NOT take any medications, use drugs, or drink alcoholic beverages. No relationships due to my religious convictions.
It has overwhelmed me at this point and nobody has ever heard of this condition. My prim care phys (PCP) and Dermatologist diagnosed dry skin – - she prescribed fungal shampoo and lotion and said to return if that doesn’t work. I didn’t return as I didn’t feel I was taken seriously. All blood work is clear and negative. My GYN checked for Thyroid problem; nothing wrong.
This all started between June-July 2009. My thoughts are one of these events could be the cause, as each happened within about 2 weeks of the other – - 1) In May of 2009 I transported boxes from my storage unit and there were all these webs of dust (not spider webs and not your normal cob webs), a tiny dead mouse was there, and evidence of a slimy film on the wall as though something larger crawled down the wall from the adjacent unit. 2) I bought a house plant that had a green film on its bark (it came from S America). Half of the soil spilled in my car. 3) I got sick after returning home from an outing with several coworkers (sore throat, weakness, difficulty moving my jaws, horrible looking blood red eyes – very strange), within 2 days I rushed to the ER and was treated for a pneumococcal infection (gave me Avalox intravenously, and 7 pills to follow up). 4) I threw moth balls everywhere thinking I might have an infestation in the house and car from the storage unit. Didn’t work. 5) I started boiling water and setting a large pot in the area where I always noticed increased activity in my hair (near the window where the tree stood). It looked as though a long film of white something??? was in the water when I poured it out. Like mosquito larvae you see in a pond on Nature program episodes. 6) one article I read at this sit mentions these nymph flies. Since this started I noticed that gnats swarm around my hair at the office. We have fresh fruit delivered once a week so I thought they came from the fruit.
I’ve exhausted myself from washing and rewashing clothes and linen. In addition, I’ve sprayed this and that, dry cleaned clothing numerous times, changed detergent and bath gel, threw out perfumes and bags of excellent clothing and toiletries, sterilized objects with Clorox – - you get my message. Nothing works!! My only consolation is the symptoms waned considerably after I took the tree to the dumpster. I did this later rather than sooner.
I sprayed my car over and over, but had not driven it for a while. The moment I drove it again the condition went wild – i.e., crawling sensation in the hair, around the eyes, face and ears.
Imaginary crawling is out of the question. I’m not imagining this. My persona is humorous and friendly, and I use tough-love for resolving family issues. I AM however mentally and emotionally drained from seeking remedies to this condition for close to a year. I pray that everyone’s comments will provide a lead to discover the origin of and cure for this horror.
There is a lot of information in this blog! You did a great job!
I guess I have had this disorder for about 19 years & never realized it until now. I have not had the lesions (Thank God) but I have the creepy crawlies, extreme muscle/joint pains & exhaustion.Nothing has helped.I am going to follow the methods suggested on this site to see which works for me. My son, 2x’s Army Vet of Iraq recently talked to me about ‘nanotechnology.’ He said there is NO monitoring or accountabilty in regards to the creation of this technology! NONE!It is used & flushed into our environment.He told me HE is frightened!!
Dlynn, I have eczema as well, and I think that because of it, we do not feel (or pay as much mind to) the itch that others notice with this affliction. I actually have many of the same things happening to me, especially the fuzzballs and the occasional blackish brown worm. I treated for lice and scabies as well, my ordeal also started in October. In December I found information that led me to believe I had Morgellons instead of any mite infestation. And I have gotten some relief because of it, I am now taking supplements and have changed my diet drastically. As far as putting stuff on the skin, I now only apply virgin coconut oil to my skin after every bath or shower. My eczema is more clean after doing this, than ever in my life! I use lysol spray for my couches, chairs, and vehicles, no more bites when I take a drive now. Overall…I am 80% symptom free from making these changes.
May God help and Heal us all!
Mary has it right, delight yourself in the Lord and never let the devil steal your joy. He is the cause of all disease and sickness, not God.
satan is using wicked men( The Illuminati) to inflict suffering on all man kind. All of you must get yourself in a Bible-Based church and learn what God has to say about everything. Jesus said by HIS stripes you are healed. Have faith in God no matter what the situation looks like. The devil might have power, but GOD is all power. God has given you the power to overcome satan, who is nothing more than a fallen angel, a dead spirit. I pray in the name of Jesus for the manifestation of all of your healing.
Do not look to man (The Government) for healing. Unfortunately they are pretty much under satan’s control. George Karlin had the Illuminati and the New World Order figured out years ago. If you want a taste of what satan is up to, GOOGLE NWO insider-How they will kill you. Also, Chemtrails the NWO plan to destroy you by poisoning the air. Yes, the book of Revelation prophesy tells us what is now and is to come. It is the only book in the Bible that promises you a blessing if you read it or hear the words in this book. It says this in the first chapter. Unfortunately, satan has convinced man to be afraid to get into this book of revelation so they will be blinded to what he is doing. He knows the only way he can operate is on people’s fear. satan knows that ignorant people won’t believe you and that is why he’s been so successful in deceiving the world. When you don’t believe your enemy exist, he can destroy you easily.
Folks, God loves you and will see you through this;All you have to do is seek his word daily and stand on it. JESUS IS LORD!!!
First time looking at this website; and thankful to learn some more maintenance bandaids to try (quinine-used for malaria?). Niacin therapy has helped my condition; slowly, and like the zapper I tried, think the flushing from the niacin and the current from a 9volt battery affects and disrupts the life of each nanobug in my blood. I have had no chronic fatique for aprox. 6 months and few new sores.
I live on edge of golf course where chemical sprays are used. I have met 4 people in my area who have morgellons. This affliction may destroy my body but never my joy in this life. I will delight in the Lord, all the days of my life. He is victorious over all matters in this life. Thankyou for all posts; will pray for you. Mary

I r ancious to see ur next publishing.Makes me want to further my education. U da man!!!!!!!
To the above poster:
Just because one person has said things like that, does not mean anyone else has said anything close to that. Go to the CDC site, and read about it for yourself.
Go to the University of Oklahoma, and read what Professor Randy Weymore has to say about it. Go to the Mayo Clinic’s site, and don’t bother coming back to this one? The people here need help and support, not ridicule. You must now be aware that when you do something like that, you set yourself up for a worse thing to happen. I pray it doesn’t.
you people have wackos on here talking about tiny creatures living in your uara and hearing them speaking to you, but we are supposed to not believe that you are f*%king crazy. ……….right. the only disease involved here is a mental one.
Dear Dylnn,
From what you have described, it does sound like it is. Do you need someone to talk to? I’ve lived with this for the past 3 years now, after much grief, finally found a site that had my symptoms. Mostly what you have just described. I had already panicked and sold all of my new furniture and heirlooms to move, thinking I had bird mites. After moving, I came to the sorry discovery that I was bringing them with me just by being here!
It can get better. I once had a ton of blue dust made of fibers all over my place. Now there is very little to be seen at all. The healthy you can eat, the better.The cleaner you keep your home, the better. But as we all do, you should to have a person to talk to when you want to or need to.
If you want to, we can talk on the phone.
You will be in my prayers,
All of you!
Anne
I’ve been reading about Morgellons for about a month and am posting here to get input. I’ve had similar symptoms but have been told by a poster here, who I emailed privately, that it doesn’t sound like Morgellons. Please bear with me for the length of this post. I’ve only been symptomatic for a few months; this is all new to me and I’m just trying to figure out how it happened and what to do about it. Until a month and a half ago, had been treating myself for head lice, and at the insistance of a doctor, for scabies. What I initially thought was that I’d picked up head lice on vacation. I began to itch all over and my scalp felt crawly. I chocked up the itchiness to my eczema and assumed head lice. I began to treat as soon as I returned home. I’m single and basicaly have two full-time jobs, one a daytime “normal” job, and the other as a live-in companion to an elderly person. Because of my schedule, I couldn’t have someone check my hair daily so I thought the slow improvement was because I wasn’t getting all the eggs. When I was checked three times, however, no one found any eggs in my hair. But things were crawling, the crawling sensation had expanded to other areas of my body, including pubic, and it felt like things were dropping from my hair to my shoulders. I began to find black particles, especially on my hands and arms, but also on clothing, and what seemed to be tiny cream-colored eggs. Sometimes they were soft and intact, sometimes open at one end and sometimes hard like a grain of salt. Once in a while, I’d find what looked like glitter. They’d land on my face, my shoulders and my clothing. I still thought I had a lice infestation and that the black particles were insect debris. In addition, I was being stung. I’d feel a sharp sting and there would be either a black particle or a cream-colored egg at the site. I began finding what I called “cacoons” of fuzz inside my clothing and bra at sting sites. It looked like something had made a cacoon of fabric fibers and was stinging me from inside. Usually these were white, sometimes pale blue, with a little black and red or navy mixed in. At one end, the stinging end, there was a black or grey place. I thought some insect was forming it and stinging me. But there isn’t any known parasite that does that. (Researching that on the internet is what led me to the Morgellons information.) I sat directly under a heating / ac vent at work, so just in case, I moved to the other workspace in my office. I brushed my hair over the sink several times a day and was finding tiny grey, black and red things which, under no magnification, seemed to have the shape of lice. So I continued to treat. I’d also begun to find tiny blood-spots all over my body, or rather an increase of them. In 1984 I’d been treated with megace to shrink fibroid tumors. It caused me to have benign skin tumors that begin as tiny blood spots. Suddenly I was developing these red spots all over very quickly, but they weren’t changing. I was itchy, but not as I’ve heard it described. It was bearable and still is, thankfully, so I can refrain from scratching. The two times I have scratched even lightly, I immediately developed a rash that lingered for days. I bought a RobiComb, since nothing else was working. That’s an electronic comb that’s supposed to zap lice and eggs with an electrical current. All I was zapping was myself; it was really uncomfortable. I found no bugs, but what was coming out in the comb were plenty of egg-bits, similar to what I’d found on my clothes and face, and white fuzz. I had to clean the comb after each pass-through because the comb was covered in what looked like very fine white fuzz. I wear virtually no white except for underwear. My towels aren’t white, either. I couldn’t figure out where it was coming from. Night after night, I was finding this stuff covering the RobiComb. I began to find all manner of strangely shaped things coming out of my hair. I couldn’t explain any of it. I go from home to office and back again most days. My outings consist of dinner, the mall and WalMart. It’s not as though I hang out in trees. I bought a 10x magnifier. The “lice” weren’t lice at all. They were miniscule oval bunches of what looked like threads. They looked like miniature versions of what I kept finding in my bra and underwear where my clothing is snug that was stinging the crud out of me. They look like pictures I’ve seen of microsopic Morgellons formations, but these aren’t microcopic at all; they’re quite visible. I also found black and red “threads.” On a couple of occasions I found tiny brownish black worms. Twice I’ve found what looked like black dots in my bra and under 10x magnification, they’ve turned out to be curled up worms. I check everything before I put it on and have gotten in the habit of removing all fuzzballs. I use a vinegar rinse in my laundry to minimize fuzz and sanitize. I’ve washed in hot water or drycleaned everything since the beginning when I thought it was lice. I never wear anything more than once. These weren’t in my bra that morning and I have no idea how they could have travelled there without my feeling it. Yesterday I found these on a plastic bag in which I’d stored clothes. Last week one of the red spots “erupted” for want of a better term, and left a small crater. I didn’t see it happen, just saw the end result, so I don’t know if anything came out of it. It’s in a place on my arm that I can’t look at under the magnifier, too close to my shoulder. With the naked eye, I see nothing unusual about it. Fortunately, so far these spots are small and don’t itch. They look like tiny bug bites and maybe a beginning eczema spot. I began to use tape to check my skin and there are lots of tiny thread-like things there but they don’t seem to be attached. I’ve noticed a major decline in my mental abilities and memory, but that may be part of the normal aging process (I’m 57). It makes me crazy, though, because I make ridiculous mistakes at work and constantly forget what I’m doing and why. My vision is changing rapidly, too, which could also be age-related. I got new glasses last June and had to replace them recently because my sight has declined so rapidly. The sensation of things crawling on me is unnerving. It’s mostly “on” and not “in” except for two spots, my eyebrows. Two or three times every day, I begin to feel something moving, disturbing hairs. I find nothing there. Then I feel a “fullness” (best way I can describe it) behind and underneath my brows. Then cream-colored things are around my eyes, on my face. They’ve gotten in my eyes and nose and in the corners of my mouth before I finally saw a pattern and could respond immediately. I don’t know whether they’re eggs or the actual insect or whtever it is. This is accompanied by a mild anaphalactic reaction; slight swelling of the lips and throat, breathiness, shakiness and all-over itch. At first I tried slathering in vasaline and that didn’t help. Then I thought I’d smash the little suckers and pressed hard against my brow bones. That actually seemed to work for awhile. Then I started putting neosporin cream on that area and it slows it down as well. I thought all this was new, but maybe it’s not. For several years I’ve had a trianglular spot between my shoulder blades that was numb, supposedly from nerve damage from a car accident 35 years ago. At night, that area would “wake up” and feel crawly. I’d go nuts, the itch was so bad and so deep. When I’d use a back scratcher, the itch would move. It did feel as though something were moving under the skin, but I attributed it to neuropathy. Strangely, since all this started in October, that spot hasn’t itched, even though it had been a nightly thing for several years. I’m beginning to wonder if it just escaped! The other thing is related to the black spots and worms. Last summer my dog started tracking black things into my bed at night. Little black dots, little black curved things and other black debris. She doesn’t go outside at all. She has a seizure disorder; when I adopted her she was found to have both Rocky Mountain Spotted Fever and Erlichea Canus, both tickborne diseases, that cause frequent grand mal seizures. I keep her inside and diaper her. (It was either that or put her down.)The vet said the black stuff was probably her pads disintegrating from age. I didn’t quite buy that and eventually banished her to the floor. But the black things kept turning up in bed. (Recently I stopped sleeping in the bed because of bites and now sleep in my leather recliner.) One more incident happened with the black things that made me wonder if it weren’t related to mold. When I was preparing for vacation, I put a brand-new tote in the washer. It had white plastic on the inside, the exterior was probably some kind of rayon. It was clean inside when I packed it. In it I packed my dog’s water bowl, leash, (which we rarely use since she doesn’t go outside often,)a couple of magazines, a water bottle full of water, a roll of paper towels and my cell phone earbuds. I put the tote on the floorboard of the front passenger side the night before leaving. I didn’t look in it until about 10am the next day on the road when I was going to give water to my dog. The inside of the tote and everything in it was covered in black specks. Not a few here and there, but covered. I have no idea where they came from and I wish I’d wrapped it in a plastic bag and kept it but I threw the whole mess away immediately to keep them from getting on anything else. However, even though I’d washed all my clothing and packed it in tied plastic bags inside my luggage (bedbug prevention), there were black specks on the plastic bags and on the clothing when I unpacked. Not covered like the things in the tote, and the specks were bigger, more the size of the black things I found on myself later. I don’t know whether any of this has any bearing on what’s chewing on me now. I’m very concerned about the potential for contageon. I take eveyr precaution I can reasonably take, short of quitting work and becoming a hermit. I’m a clean person, I wear gloves to clean and prepare food, and I don’t get physically close to the man I take care of; it’s not hands-on care, thankfully. I haven’t hugged anyone in ages and that’s killing me. I’m afraid to go to church and that’s bad, but when I thought I had lice, I was afraid I’d leave it on the upholstery. Not going to Mass is a big deal and I haven’t been since October. I do very little that brings me in close contact with anyone else because I don’t know what this is or whether I could cause someone else damage. This is really worse than the itching, the eggs and the worms. Please tell me whether this sounds like Morgellons and what my next step should be. There’s so much craziness about it on the internet it’s hard to sift the realistic from the ridiculous. I won’t use colloidal silver; too many warnings about it. For right now, I can live with the itch. That may not be true if it worsens. I’ve started taking steps to enhance my immune system; I’m not a pill-taker, so that’s hard. I shower using Dr. Bronner’s castile soap and wash my hair with Selsun Blue. Other than that, I’m not doing much. I think I damaged my scalp and skin with all the treatments I used for lice and I want it to heal before I do anything too out of the ordinary. Thank you for any suggestions you can give me.

PEOPLE ! If you think you have this condition , PLEASE do extencive research . Online you will find Sooo many “PIMPS” – People making Money off your suffering ! . . . This is dicusting ! . . . I have done ALL these things over the years . Some Help , some are a waist of money ! SILVER helps , any kind of silver . Copper helps , any kind ! I say this because I have done both Ionic , and Colloidal ! they BOTH Help ! MMS helps ! MMS2 helps ! . . . Borax Baths are BEST for skin ! this will take away Crawling sensation rite away ! . . A Zapper is a good thing to have aswell , some work better than others ! Even if you didnt have Morgellons , the Zapper is a good thing to have . It will clean your blood of Pathogens , Microbs , etc , but you mite want to look into RIFE , or a Frequency Generator ( More Money ) but it could kill the Disease if you can find the rite Frequency . . . And remember this , the disease will fight back when you try to destroy it . So if you notice it sudenly gets worse when you use a product or method to fight it , than keep going as you can , because it is bothering the Disease . . . The disease causes other parasites to grow in you , and off of you , so you will need to use Anti Parasite , wether it be herbel or chemical . This will only kill what the disease makes . . Do not buy ANY creams or lotions from ANONE ! as this is a complete waist of your money ! It is NOT a skin disease ! it is INTERNAL , and the skin problem is just a symtom ! . . . Again BORAX baths will take care of the skin problem . use a 3rd of a box each bath . You will see !

GOD BLESS EACH AND EVERYONE OF YOU!
Dr. Staninger is the only one who knows what this is. Her main treatment for getting out the fibers which are made of plastic is by using her recommended far infrared saunas and her supplements. For anyone interested in finding out more about her protocol can find it here: http://newageremedies.com/staninger
Dr. Staninger protocol information
Dr. Staninger is treating people with fibers and lesions in their skin. (The FDA only allows M.D.s to treat morgellons disease so please only refer to the fibers if contacting Dr. Staninger for treatment)
morgellons disease is silicone nanotechnology. Click to find out more information. This can save your life.
^I mean INTERNAL parasite, obviously, or internal ailment..
I have this. I am an otherwise healthy 30 yr old male. Started about 7 years ago, when I thought it was bird mites or scabies. Gradually I have come to realise this isn’t an insect parasite but some sort of external parasite. I have itching and biting sensations and it is only recently after looking ta my skin with a usb microscope (expecting to find some sort of ‘mite’), that I saw these tiny silvery fibres, too thin to be hair, growing from my skin. Unfortunatly I realised that all these crazy sounding people i had come across reseraching bird mites wern’t crazy after all! I have my symptoms very well under control now.I suggest N-acetyl cysteine, garlic, MSM to start. However I take plenty other supplements, check morgellons disease research forum for more info. If you mix some essential oils with coconut oil and rub this all over your body twice daily, you will find your sympoms will improve over night.
I don;t particularly believe “nanotech” theories i tihnk it most likely to a sub dermal parasite either nematode or just possible insect, or more likley some sort of blood born protoxoan parasite along the lines of malaria. It is mentally grueling and physically punishing and you have to be very strong to learn to live with this chronic condition. For the people who mock sufferers, they are cruel indeed. Eventually the medical community will discover and diagnose this problem but it takes time for new (if it is new) or rare diseases to be recognised…
I would say pray for a cure, but I’m an atheist, so lets just hope instead. PS I am in the UK, this problem is not US specific anymore..
