Sufferers of Morgellons disease complain of invisible parasites biting their skin. And they get skin lesions from which sprout strange fibers. And mysterious black spore-like specks appear on their skin. Cases of this strange disease seem to be spreading, especially in the Bay area. One theory is that it has something to do with Lyme disease. Or it may be a case of mass delusion. The medical community seems to think it's mass delusion. Most people who show up complaining of these symptoms get diagnosed with 'delusional parasitosis', which is a psychological problem in which people imagine that they're infested by parasites. Not having any medical qualifications at all, I won't weigh in on whether this is a real disease or mass delusion, but some of the behavior of the patients does sound suspiciously bizarre. Take the case of Theresa Blodgett:
Comments
Quoted from Randy's experience in curing "BUGS" as follows,
FLAGYL 400mg (METRONIDAZOLE) is a good choice for treating "BUGS", as quoted as follows,
1. To treat eyes:
Bausch & Laum Sulfacetamide drops ?3 drops 3x per day, one more time at bedtime. Feels like it burns, but it does work.
2. Use mud packs purchased from DermaTechRx 2x per day
3. Bath with Sulphur soap with lanolin
4. Always use Borax in laundry
5. All carpets should be removed ?Check with your insurance company, they may pay to replace your carpets.
6. All Cloth Furniture should be removed ?Check with your insurance company, they may pay to replace your furniture.
7. Note that it may get worse before it gets better.
8. A high protein diet is highly recommended. Example?Adkins Diet. Products that contain yeast and bacteria such as breads and cheeses can make your condition worse.
9. Sprinkle Diatomaceous Earth on your carpets, rugs, and your car and rub it in the carpets
10. Below are a couple of products to treat for internal parasites. It is highly recommended that you do this as the parasites appear to enter body cavities also.

But I digress.
My mother was getting soooo much better, and now, this has returned with a vengance. It is relentless in it's quest to inhabit her body. I will tell you, she went to lengths of "cauterizing" her open sores herself since no doctor would. THEY HEALED. AND QUICK. I AM NOT SUGGESTING ANYONE DO THIS. I ENCOURAGED HER TO STOP IT. I KNOW THAT SEVERE INFECTIONS COULD ENSUE AND THAT WOULD ONLY MAKE THINGS WORSE. I don't think she could stand to do it again anyway!
I have watched her put "stuff", since we don't know exactly WHAT it is, on a gas stove eye and I have watched this "stuff" start to crawl away and literally jump off the eye away from the fire!
We have found one other person in our city with this.
CONTINUED....
Anyone who does not personally know someone with this will easily dismiss it. SUCH AS ROD. HI ROD!!! :cheese: THIS IS WHY NEWS COVERAGE IS IMPORTANT. Most ppl will listen to what is on the news. At least they are becoming aware.
I wonder about DermaTechRX. I have looked at their products and frankly their prices are OUTRAGEOUS. I KNOW, since I have been making bath and body products for the last year, that this stuff is TOO HIGH. But, then again so is BATH & BODY WORKS. However, I am thinking of ordering a jar of that scrub because if I can get the ingredients list, I can make it myself for about $5 and that includes the jar. I have made something that does help my mother's skin, so I would not completely discount these folks. Diet does help, but can a diet alone actually CURE? That is where I would need "empirical evidence". Even vegans have heart attacks, cancer and strokes.
POST BACK EVERYONE!!!

this is what is actually bugging you
http://www.headlice.org/news/2005/august/tiny_bugs_wreak_havoc.htm
...YES...BUT, there also seems to be other "things" involved in this disease.
I see in a post above that apparently other "ickies" could infect the body in this weakened condition.
Consider the FACT that collembola carry and vector numerous bacteria and one fungus--all of which have been documented to cause skin and other problems for humans. one of these bacteria just happens to be wolbachia, which is now known to be the actual cause of human filarial disease. I also suspect in the future, if this disease ever comes to light and is actually studied by the sceintific community, they are going to find that collembola probably also carry the lyme disease bacteria.
Research collembola and you'll find these things out.
It's not science fiction....you just need to think outside the box...but not too far out, because this thing is not some "alien" disease.
Personally, I think she's full of sh*t... but if you have any knowledge or experience in this area, please respond!
Thanks!

It's a disease that the SUPERBUGs Collembola Springtails live on parasites, most of them nematodes, creating fungal environments inside patient's skin. In order to get rid of those bugs, you need to exterminate parasites inside the body.
She needs to have both the blood test for bacteria and parasites and stool test for parasites, preferable at the infectious disease department of the university research hospital. Most of dermatologist and family practitioner doctors do not know how to treat this disease. And, end with a conclusion of

Make sure you gargle with Listerine or some other antiseptic mouthwash. The mucous membranes are very important. I found a boat load of these things in my mouth.
Also, spray the area with some type of disinfectant. Do not use too many cloth materials in the house.

I am not into pain and do not run to doctors with rug dust. But I am way open to listening to people than you are.
I believe this is some sort of fungus like Aspergillus. This can be breathed in and it can infect skin and eyes. And you all are delusional if you think you cannot get parasites in the U.S. We have mosquitos people!!
Mr.SkinDoc, or (Mr.pimplepopper),
This is what is really going on:

Sorry man, they're not methheads, in a few years it's going to suck to be you.
Anyone can make a "foundation." I'm going to make a "foundation" for "people who know that carpet doesn't come out of your skin."
http://www.headlice.org/report/research/index.html
As for the "fibers", most likely they are just fibers from people clothes that get stuck in the lesions and open wounds caused by the collembola infestation.
Is this a picture of a colembola?
Or any of these?
Or this?
Cause that would be nice, as, after 8 years with this scourge of, literally hundreds of nights of, silent scream dispair, and I tire, of it all.
Tonight I will pray for Skin Docs patients and the further pain he inflicts upon them.
For Shame.

that's really a question for the experts at identifying collembola in skin scrapings to answer.
That's who you should be asking, especially about this one:
I bet $$ there's a bunch in that one.
You gotta think "small"--way smaller.
Collembola have many life stages or instars.
Our collembola are no larger than a human liver cell in their first instar.
Cerulean,
Thank you for your suggestion, I just may do that, but, to me, that Lil bugger looks like a sea lice... WTH?? It seems I am finding abilities and images that a lot of ocean microorganisms reflect, maybe a place to do more research on possibilities.
The one that intrigues me most(and you know, for an affliction that traumatizes so much, it sure is bloody Fascinating tho eh) is this one.
It is an image that appeared on a viewer I bought (a 'see the little world' childrens science toy) that makes micro macro so I can photo specimens. It was actually on the 'inside' of the screen as I could not wipe it off. But, it was only visible with the screen viewed at a 45 degree angle, and the most interesting part is, when viewed from the other angle (90 degrees away) you see what appears to be its back side...????
Here is a picture of it (and the viewer it is on and, btw, the item on the slide is a dust ball I looked at and inside found little red nematode likes and an encapsulated fly that it seems they were using as a food source)
I agree smaller, waay smaller, basic building blocks of life stuff, strong relationship with hydrogen, oxogen, sulfur, FE(III).... an organism I have sometimes called Hiderogen. So yes, I agree, most all that I identify as related are symptoms only but the common denominator seems achieveable.. hopefully anyway.
😊
My regards,
Bryan.
Also, the postboard/forums have a 'show no advertizing' option button for any to use. They have been a saving grace for myself and, almost daily, for those who find their way there on their own but arrive so distraught that suicide prevention/intervention is often required... but sometimes it does not work.
The posts are, even after 8 months, often a very difficult read. People reaching out for help for themselves or, most often, in concern for their loved ones, have frequently been forcibly institutionalized and had their children taken away being deemed 'unfit' as a parent. I can imagine no greater trauma for a perfectly sane person trying to do what is right. Many are still suffering from that injustice.
Sad that.
Very sad.

RE: Symptoms
"Itching and a rash at the site of where skin touched soil or sand is usually the first sign of infection. These symptoms occur when the larvae penetrate the skin. While a light infection may cause no symptoms, heavy infection can cause anemia, abdominal pain, diarrhea, loss of appetite, and weight loss. Heavy, chronic infections can cause stunted growth and mental development."
I have had this unchecked for eight years. Onset was identified during an episode of anyphylactic shock while in La Paz Mexico, no rashes manifested and I, at that time, was in one of the best shapes of my life. I have NEVER, in all the eight years, had abdominal pains, diarrhea, loss of apetite (I eat like a horse) weight loss or stunted growth, the opposite in fact.
Ergo, I don't 'catch on'.
But thank you anyway.
Bryan.
beware of some postings in here. this paul guy... http://www.be-healthy-forever.com Well.. this guy is a nut and has caused a lot of problems for safe to use.

He is in and out of lymebusters forums. we all know who he is.

The level of maturity evident here; in name calling, threats, bickering, profiteering and misrepresentation, lets me now that I have come to the wrong place.
Or, can anyone, using collembola speak or hookworm-ese, explain this 'dismmissed fibres' actions when plucked out of a patients arm and floated in 93% alcohol?

I thought not.
Please excuse, time to travel to places where It is better spent.

Understand.
- Bryan.
I'm not dismissing the fibers, I know they are a factor. But I think the scientists should be the ones to figure out how the collembola produce them.
I don't understand how people can so easily dismiss collembola as being the cause of this horrible affliction, I mean, it's not a theory but rather scientific findings:
http://www.headlice.org/report/research/index.html
"Abstract - Twenty individuals diagnosed with delusory parasitosis participated in a single site clinical study under the auspices of the National Pediculosis Association (NPA) and the Oklahoma State Department of Health. The objective of this study was to determine if there were any common factors in skin scrapings collected from this population. These individuals, whose symptoms were originally attributed to lice or scabies, were part of a larger group reporting symptoms of stinging/biting and/or crawling to the NPA. Multiple skin scrapings from each person were microscopically examined. Any and all fields of view that appeared incongruous to normal human skin were digitally photographed. When the photographic images were initially evaluated, no common factor was identified. However, more extensive scrutiny using imaging software revealed evidence of Collembola in 18 of the 20 participants."

Hurd, P.D. (1954:814) Alaska: "During the past two summers I have served as research entomologist at the Arctic Research Laboratory, Point Barrow, Alaska." "Apparently because of the use of the aspirator, a most unique case of "myiasis" (or infestation) occured." "Approximately 2 mo. after the completion of the past summer's work at Point Barrow I became ill. During the week following the onset of illness four major groups of insects (Coleoptera, Collembola, Diptera, Hymenoptera) were passed alive from the left antrum of the sinus. These insects included ... and about 50 springtails (Collembola, Isotoma olivacea Tullberg. The medical aspects, as well as the specific identification of the insects involved, are to be reported by Donald G. Casterline, M.D. (Calif. Mo. Medicine, in press)." "It is believed that these protracted periods of dailly aspiration during the summer contributed to a case of "myiasis" that is without parallel in its origin and nature. Insofar as I have been able to ascertain none of the insects reported herein have been previously shown to cause "myiasis" in man." "Apparently the insects gained access to the sinus as eggs which passed trough the fine mesh brass screen.
Admittedly, it is almost unbelievable that the insects should have undergone several stages in their metamorphosis within the sinuses, but since the screen was so fine as to preclude the possibility of the aspiration of adult insects, it must be concluded that such was the case."

Mertens, J. in Christiansen, K. (1998 in 2001:in litt.) Belgium: " Several years ago our Faculty of Medicine once offered me 'strange small insects', which were considered as being responsible for causing allergic reactions on the skin of a woman. Those insects were Seira domestica. I could prove that the scales of Seira on the cushioned seats caused the allergy. As you know, Lepidocyrtus, has scales too. " Mertens, J. (2004:in litt.) Belgium: "In 1976 (or 1977), our Faculty of Medicine was puzzled by a rare case of skin allergy in a woman, living near Ghent. The allergy was caused by the scales of Seira domestica on a cushion of a rotan chair. Whenever the woman used the rotan chair, the allergic skin response occured (and only then). The chair was located in the veranda, which was quite moisty and where the temperature was enjoyable. It turned out that the hollow rotan branches of the chair hosted a population of Seira domestica. During the night, they left their hiding place and crawled all over the chair. The cushion collected many of the lost scales, causing as such the allergic reaction. "
In 1939, specimens of springtails were received from a Melbourne specialist who stated that they were causing skin troubles on a female patient. The insect in question was the species Entomobrya multifasciata Tull....... The symptoms of this case were as follows : the patient experienced a sharp biting sensation, followed by intolerable itching. There were few marks on the body with an occasional excoriated papule, while the irritation was distributed fairly generally over the trunk and limbs, but was most marked around the waist. Several specimens of the insect responsible for the condition were found on the patient's body..... "In 1941, specimens of another springtail were received from a military hospital in Victoria, where skin irritations were occuring among the nursing staff. The species concerned was Entomobrya tenuicauda Schott., a native insect originally described in 1917 from Queensland, later recorded by Womersley (3) from Western Australia and Tasmania, and now from Victoria. In this instance, the presence of the insect produced on several nurses raised lumps very similar to mosquito bites, and which later were very irritable. In one instance there was also a good deal of reddening of the calf of the leg. These conditions lasted for somewhat less than twenty-four hours in each case, but reoccurred the next day, probably from more 'bites'. On analysing this case, it appears certain that the insects were introduced into the hospital with flowers, and from there moved on the affected nurses during their normal routine duties." "3. Womersley, H. : Primitive Insects of South Australia, Gov. Printer, Adelaide, 1939." Womersley suggested that the easily detached, long ciliated hairs of Entomobrya species undoubtedly would cause skin irritations.
Terinte, C., Dulceanu, N.I., Terinte, R. & Dobrescu, G. (1998?) Roumania: "A 80-years-old woman presented with pruritus, insomnia, anxiety, paleness, weight loss (7 Kg in 6 months), and loss of appetite. In the lumbar region, on the buttocks, on the right posterior hemithorax and interdigitally on both feets she had small ulcers of 0.5-1 cm in diameter, surrounded by an indurated congestive or cyanotic, ovoid area of 1 x 1.5 cm. Small scars, with furfuraceous, dry and gray exfoliation on round and linear zones of 20-25 x 4-5 cm., were observed in the submammalian region. Linear short subepidermic truncated trajects were also observed. The microscopic examination of the hypodermic material obtained by scraping, revealed an adult Collembola spp. insect, eggs, cocoons of different colours..."
Finding it hard to believe that all of these scientists throughout the past century, and coming from all over the world are all making the exact same mistake by identifying collembola as investing people.
One person removed the fear of 'falling off the edge of the world' against all that was known to be true.
