Morgellon Disease

“I often get the feeling something’s biting me but there is nothing there,” said one sufferer of this condition. While another stated, “Doctors act as though I’m making this up,” … “They are guessing without investigating. They refer me to a psychologist or make a psychiatric diagnosis with no solid basis whatsoever.”

Symptoms:
·Involuntary muscle twitches
·Itching
·Sensations of organisms scratching, biting, or crawling on the skin
·Live organisms infecting the human host
produce fibers, or filaments within the tissues
·Sores and slow-healing lesions with thick scarring
·Microscopic examination of these sores reveal the presence of unusual fibers
We fear what we don’t understand and can’t see… The fear of the unknown! The cause of Morgellons Disease is currently a medical mystery. This emerging bug needs to be considered a very infectious disease, which mimics scabies and lice. Many sufferers have given up on the medical field in whole and have turned to any means of alternative medicine, and/or have attempted to self medicate.
I have been employed under the medical field for a few years and have come across a lot of weird conditions but due to confidentially reasons I have always disregarded the illnesses. But then the creepy happens right in my own family. Sometime last year I had an extended family member (from Omro,
WI) needing to take a road trip down to Alabama and literally contracted a bug while staying in a motel room.
Over a coarse of a year my family member wasn’t too concerned about their health that is until the condition turned intolerable. They began seeing providers but no one is believing the symptoms and the provide proof to this ailment (bug). So far these doctors have basically wrote them off with other conditions without giving much thought. Before they were naïve and gave a shot to any medical assistance, which was provided. One problem nothing worked, and it did get to the point that several providers were disregarded as being “all in your head”.
Then about a month ago a family emergency brought everyone together and I saw my relation for real. They are covered with oozing soars/lesions that are scarring, we were told to keep our distance. It is utterly disgusting, just being in the same room of them made my skin craw. I felt so bad because this relative is so affectionate and I love ‘em to death.
Anyway the last I knew they were corresponding with an Entomologist (person who studies bugs) at a local university. I really hope they receive closure soon, since this Morgellons Disease is what we believe to be the ailment but until medical field does a little more research and diagnose this condition we all are left in the dark.
Please if you or know of someone who you believe to be suffering from this creepy bug please let me know. In this case I truly feel the best way to get the medical providers to sit up and take notice is to turn them into believers of this unknown condition.
Regards,
Evans Family
Note to public the only relief this relative is getting from the bugs is by soaking in a salt-bath for a half hour... When they emerge they stated that the water was full of the dead parasites.
