NEWS: Morgellons disease probably a delusion, feds say
From the San Francisco Chronicle: “Morgellons disease – a creepy illness that leaves patients with painful lesions, gives them a feeling that bugs are crawling all over their body, and has them seeing colorful, threadlike fibers poking through their skin – isn’t infectious and probably isn’t caused by anything in the environment, according to the first government study of the condition.”

Morgellons disease – a creepy illness that leaves patients with painful lesions, gives them a feeling that bugs are crawling all over their body, and has them seeing colorful, threadlike fibers poking through their skin – isn’t infectious and probably isn’t caused by anything in the environment, according to the first government study of the condition.
Rather, Morgellons is likely to be a mental illness and should probably be treated with the same drug and psychiatric care that works for people who suffer delusions, researchers with the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention said Wednesday.
(CDC) a biased non-evidence based governmental agency – this does not protect public trust.
This information biased is the cause of so much neglect and abandonment from the medical community to the people suffering with Morgellon’s. The patient is multisymptomatic it is obvious the person has Lyme Disease. Thank God justice is served and new studies are finally showing it is not “delusional” but a multiple infection from Borrelia and other co-infections.
