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.”

About 15 years ago I started to get ear infections and given several different antibiotics & creams nothing worked and my ears got worse, oozing, pus, different types of foreign objects were coming out. Then about 5 years ago I asked a nurse to do a swab to see what the heck it is, came back staphylococcus, then again was given more antibiotics, creams and nothing worked. NOW im pissed it has affected my legs, upper back & wrist. A few months back a doctor looked at my legs and says oh this is Staph aeureus, im sick of these doctors since my problem has continued and im not getting treated for it. Then yesterday i was looking up skin parasites & cam across the Morgellons Disease. I couldnt believe my eyes the things that are happening to others is happening to me. I have an eye piece look through and have tried to figure out what the heck this is, now finally I got an answer, and I don’t care what people say about this they can go to hell, because im sick of being sick. Im not ne who likes doctors & hate going to them to get the same answer which is nothing because they know nothing or just dont care. I was very athletic in school and very outgoing all my life up until 5 years ago when it started invading my body. I had I say I had beautiful legs but now wont wear shorts, im now 44 years old and have a 4 year old & a 21 year old, I have no energy for my little one & all I want is to feel better, please someone help!!!! I want my life back. These creatures are going to kill me eventually & I will do what it takes to get rid of them. Now staph is highly contagious no one has caught it, not my girlfriend who I sleep with every night nor any one who is close to me, this is why I searched & searched for answers, maybe God has provided this for me now its time to take action. My email is jospetsitting&hotmail.com
Please anyone who has answers to where i can get the proper treatment, if any, please email me. I really do appreciate it. I live in Southern California. Thanks Again Joanne
I`m pretty sure what this is. I study natural healing and preventive health care. As you know everyones metabolism enviornment is different and there may be a few exceptions with various complications or causes. Listed here is my conclusion other than biohazards. These fibers are closely related to what causes Gout. Acidic crystals that your body produces when there is too much acid in the body. Complications can be arthritus, bacterial infection, fungi infection and virus infection to varied diseases if this is prolonged. It is my belief that these fibers collect what is in the persons body to produce different colors. Some people mentioned that hot showers cause it to get worse. Heat causes inflamation and water probably helps fungi grow and fungi thrives in an acidic atmosphere. Another poster mentioned that alcohol cleaning encouged the fibers to grow. Alcohol is acidic. One poster said green tea helped. I would bet green tea produces an alkaline atmosphere in the body as well as certain fruits and vegetables. Add it all up and there is a common denominator, get rid of the Acidic atmosphere in your body by eating black cherries daily or drinking water diluted with concentrated black cherry juice. Also another poster mentione oil of oregano, this must be edible form and used very lightly. 1 to 4 eyedrops in water a day. May I suggest garlic as an alternative but not too much. Garlic is very powerfull and you do not need much. I take one oderless garlicin supplement a day at most. With time garlic will rid your body of fungi which is difficult to get rid of and any bacteria or virus. Give it time and keep your body from becoming too acidic. I truely believe these are acidic crystals and maybe a combination of infection such as fundi etc.
Do the pedifix tea trea oil and endure 300 trick – you will see that this is silicone nanotechnology and NOT parasites.
1. get pedifix tea trea oil and rub into lesions
2. On top of the pedifix rub in Endure 300 Ethyl alcohol gel.
3. Watch the silicone gel ooze out and cover your hand that you used to rub in the soaps.
This is silicone nanotechnology our govt is spraying into the air in a powdered form so we breath it in. And it turns to gel in our bodies when mixed with water. Then the gel bursts open and lets loose the small black dots and fibers. They are self-replicating nano machines that can form long thin wires that everyone refers to as the fibers. The govt KNOWS that they did this. The silicone patent traces back to our Military! They are spraying us and putting this in our food,sodas and water. We are under attack by mass murderers who believe that it is their duty to poison everyone to reduce the worlds population. Google “the Illuminati” and find out how the billionaire families of the world are involved in this mass depopulation plan. They orchestrated 9/11 and all the terrorist attacks to further their goal of scaring the people into giving up their rights. They want to turn the world into one militarized airport. They are controlling the cancer industry and murder doctors and scientists who have cures. They need to be put behind bars and FAST!
If you want to get the silicone nanotechnology out of your body..there is one toxicologist in los angeles who is an expert at nanotechnology. Google this. And she will help you eliminate the nano. It takes time to get this out. It can take a couple of years. But you will get better and better. Your body will eliminite it from your internal organs first and will exit the silicone from your skin. You may appear to be getting worse as you are eliminating this stuff from your body. But your insides are getting better. The fibers are inside the silicone goo. They will be pushed out of your skin. THe best and most powerful way to get rid of this is with a “Carbon Fiber Far Infrared Radiant Heat Sauna”. The best and safest way to get one of these is through the toxicologist who knows nano as most far infrared machines on the market are a waste of money. Only get this machine that is verified to be tested by a toxicologist to assure that it is in the correct wavelength. I wish i can post the name of the toxicologist who helped me but the govt is trying to silence scientists who are researching this and they actually tried to poison this scientist with lethal chemicals. She was able to detox and is now ok..but they almost killed her. This is a COVERUP and our govt is INVOLVED just like they were involved in 9/11 ..if you don’t believe our govt is capable of mass murder then you haven’t done the research. Go to youtube and watch “loosechange” and “the Obama deception”. You will find the truth of what is actually going on in this country and not the B.S. that is being told to us on Te-LIE-vision controlled by the same mass murderers who are poisoning the population.
There is an oxygen pill that can detox the fibers. But there is only one that the toxicologist recommends as safe without chemicals. I can’t give away the protocol due to the fact that it is “intellectual property”. But if you research online the name of the toxicologist who specializes in nanotechnology and then google her product line. You will figure out which products she is using to detox the silicone. Which is not a disease – but a man-made affliction. DONT WORRY YOU CAN GET THIS STUFF OUT. IT takes time and is not an overnight cure. If you have any doubts..this toxicologist can help you. Just don’t call a scientist and mention names of diseases like “morgellons” or they can get shut down. Only mention nanotechnology. Good luck to you all. You can recover! And tell everyone the truth. As more and more people will be showing the signs of what the “New World Order” Illuminati are spraying into the air.
Its certian now that I do have springtail.And I have saved the springtail as proof could even make out visually under magnifacation the foot used to jump or spring.Along with many fibers and moltings casings as well.The fibers are produced by the srpingtail.It captures thier food in the wild something like a spider spins a web.I have pictures of springtail and the fibers from a specialists web site.I started taking salt bathes of half a box twice a day and they practially pored out of me most dead some just crawled out of me and left.Must have been many hundreds of them in mostly my scalp.Not many on main body.They often feed on mite eggs.First I had scabbies and I now think thats what atracted the springtail to me.Used a lot of composted leaves last spring to mulch my garden.I think the springtail sensed I was infected with scabbie eggs and saw me as a host.Selsum Blue good lather on scalp then a handful of salt working well. Has almost cured me.I did 20 minute to 40 minute soaks.The salt on the scalped stung bad at firstform the opened tunnels. Now it does not.About 20 bathes so far only a couple of stings almost no fibers now. Much hair loss.They proabally ate my folicals may be pernament. The salt bathes work.
Go to youtube and watch the video “aaron russo told about 9/11 by rockefeller 6 months before it happened”. These billionair families are the ones spraying us with nanotechnology and putting it in our food, sodas and household products. They did 9/11 and now they are continueing their assault on humanity. They call us “useless eater”. Bush family funded hitler and so did the rockefeller and the federal reserve banks. We know whats going on and they will end up in jail where they belong!
Most doctors are a waste of space. We know that most doctors don’t know anything about how to treat disease. Ask a doctor and he still wouldn’t be able to tell you what causes cancer after his years of pharmaceutical paid education. He only covers up symptoms and never offers any cures. They ought to do away with all doctors..who needs them when people suffer from an ailment and all they do is say they are “delusional”. Most doctors are “delusional” believing that they are actually knowledgeable. Most doctors are fat, unhealthy and have knowledge given to them from pharmaceutical companies that want to make billions of dollars and don’t give a damn if they murder millions every year. We know that doctors are the leading cause of death in the country! We know that pharmaceutical drugs, vaccinations, mercury dental fillings are the cause of most diseases. Now we have nanotechnology in the picture compliments of our nazi government controlled by billionaire murdering families who want most of us sick and dead. Research the “new world order” and their population reduction plan. They already created 1000 concentration camps all over the united states. We know what is going on! Spraying us with viruses and nanotechnology and then saying we are “delusional”. The only thing delusional is your billionaire family members who do not believe that they will be thrown in Jail and hung for their crimes against humanity. And not to mention the govt sponsored 9/11 attacks..we know nanothermite explosives were put and found int he world trade center before the planes hit. And we know from a handful of insiders that you billionaire families told members of the govt that 9/11 would happen before it did. These billionaire men belong behind bars before they nuke a city. They need to be punished and soon. Before they spray us with something very lethal like they did in Russia.
It’s not conspiracy when leading scientists are testing the air that is being sprayed on us and the air samples are filled with fiber nanotechnolgoy and smart dust that turns into the morgellons goo. Do the wine and peroxide test ..swish with both and you’ll be spitting out the morgellons silicone goo. You government trolls who come here and try to prevent people from knowing the truth are SICKOS! you are participating in the modern day nazi genocide. You are being poisoned too!
Morgellons is nanotechnology. The silicone that is oozing out of people’s skin is silicone and the patent of this chemical has been found. The govt is using it and spraying it on the population in the form of a powdered “smart dust” that turns to gel when it is inhaled and mixes with water from the body. The black fibers and black nano dots are in the silicone goo and mix with digestive enzymes that burst the nano and spread the fibers all around the body. These are self-assembling machines compliments of the billionaire families who believe they are god and believe it’s their right to poison the population and reduce it so they can bring in their New World Order communist/nazi regime based on population reduction, a one world government where they are the rulers and everyone else that survives is enslaved in prison militarized cities. They are lucifierian and worship satan and perform satanic rituals at places like Bohemian grove. They orchestrated 9/11 and falsly blamed it on middle easterners whom most have been found alive in the middle east. They used patsys like Osam bin laden who actually according to an incider works for our govt and is a long term partner of Bush family. We are being duped but we ARE WAKING UP To the EVIL OF these billionaire families who are making billions of dollars by piosoning us and profiting from the chemotherapy and drugs we are being given. These murderers are instigating every war and make the public believe that a terrorist hijacked a plane but it is really these billionaire mass murderers who are doing this. They are spraying poisons in the sky “chemtrails” and they are trying to spread Flu’s so they can make billions in profits from vaccination sales. WE ARE WAKING UP BY THE MILLIONS YOU MASS MURDERERS ! YOU WILL BE BEHIND BARS Drinking the poisoned water that you have been feeding us with. You will be hung for your treason to the population around the world for your crimes against humanity. YOU WILL BE PUNISHED!
oops sorry I forgot to spell check that last post. My keying and spelling skills have gone down the drain since I aquired this Morgie brain!
I am from Toronto Canada and have been sufffering on and off since 2006 from many of the same symptoms, though they have lightened lately. My first attack came after they had sprayed for mosquitoes in our area.Ther was a short announcement on local news not to go outside during the hours of spraying overnight. At this time I noticed a huge amount of little tiny not quite flies around the house. i set up sticky fly traps and caught hundreds of them. This past summer I noticed them around the house again and September have had another attack of the itchy stingy crawlies. They do sound very much like the flies described by Bharathyeju. Perhaps they are using a GMO version of these flies as insect repellent?? You know, introducing one species to wipe out another causing an even larger problem. Check out Nano Transformation website as well as Dr Hildegarde Staninger (if you haven’t already). I believe as others do that this is a combination for GMO farming as well as careless spraying of biogenetic insecticides. Has anyones hair turned color drastically? Mine has gone from salt and pepper to redish blond – no more gray but too freaky to comprehend. Sounds bizare but my coworkers and hair dresser can testify.
What has helped me aleviate symptoms is bathing twice daily alternating between Epson Salts (morning) and Neem oil with tea tree and lavender oils (Evening). Too wiped to wash bedding daily so I run a stickly lint roller over the pillows and sheets, oil my body down – hair also with mixture of oregano oil and olive oil. Sometimes I put oil in my ears as well for the itch with ear plugs as well but tehy often fall out overnight.
This all sounds even more bizare when writing and reading what is written. How could so many of us be making this stuff up?
