Morgellon's Disease

katie258 · Sep 9, 2006

So is this disease only affecting americans? Or has it spread further. And what is a chemtrail? I asked a couple of the girls at work about it ( from the U.K. and Dubai) and theyve not heard about it either. Kinda weird...

Chem trail? I'm not sure what you are referring to.

I don't have any info about other countries, sorry.

My former tag "chopstix" dropped cuz I forgot who I was LOLOL!

My comments to this mysterious skin dz. . .think: global warming, proliferation of people, saavy insects (ticks,mosquitoes), bacteria, viruses, a shrinking planet, polluted waters, a rushed society.

What a coincidece! I just finished reading the book"Bloodstream" by Tess Gerritson. Deals with very similar symptons. Flourescent "bugs",psychosis and maybe something to do with floodwaters...don't want to give it all away..but very interesting similarities.

I thought the CDC was already working on this.

I had a patient today who was dx'd with this disase. I remember seeing the documentary on it last year. I kept hearing a lot of nurses this weekend saying that the pt is crazy. Kinda interesting.

Sounds very X-filey to me.

Scary disease. Hadn't heard about it until now; but, I don't believe it is psychosomatic in origin. Not too long ago the medical establishment said that infectious proteins were impossible and now they still can't figure out how a prion infects. If someone had listened to the evidence that H. Pylori existed a couple of years sooner, my father might still be alive today! So, when some supposed expert tries to dismiss a disease as impossible, think twice, IMHO.

I have seen this only one time in a pt who was visiting from Fla. You could SEE the blue fibers coming out of her skin. She had complained to drs for years and all she got was a lot of head shaking and psych referrals. But I could see them. You pull them out and within about 24h theyre back. She said sometimes theyre red or black, but I could only see blue.

People who have this are blowing their heads off because the medical community is shunning them and passing them over to the psych doctors who are saying the pts are doing this to themselves. With the bioengineering the government is doing and they are gene splicing bugs to change them from a "bad bug" to a "good bug" now they are going from invading the plants to invading the people. This started with a common enemy of the cotton plant. the government did some genetic splicing to make the bugs more "cotton friendly" and now they are imbedding into the human skin. There are people who say that they were infected from new packs of underwear. Some articles I read say you can see them in cotton swabs. hold a single cotton swab up close to your eyes and watch closely. Some of the cotton fibres sticking out will start moving like crazy. Scary stuff.

I actually had a pt describe these symptoms to the psychiatrist that I worked with (in Louisiana). He dx her with Major Depression and anxiety. She never came to our program. I wish now I could've done an assement on her.

This is by far the most terrifying thing I've seen in a long time. I mean, I just learned that this disease, these symptoms, ANY of this, existed, today.

I feel like crying. It is THAT scary to me.
