What is "Morgellons"..?

Morgellons Disease is also referred to as the 'Fiber Disease' and is, as yet, unrecognized by the medical community. Thousands who have registered report remarkably similar symptoms, generally involving lesions and fibers developing in the skin.

What are the symptoms..?

In brief, most patients report the stinging, biting, crawling sensations, associated with skin, along with the fibers, lesions and 'brain fog' as the most significant of symptoms. It is important to note that some patients have no lesions yet do have fibers produced from unbroken skin.

Is it contagious..?

It is difficult to say whether Morgellons is contagious. Many patients have family members who exhibit no symptoms whatever. On the other hand, many entire families have reported becoming infected at or near the same time. At this juncture, it remains unclear if these households with multiple infected members reflect contagion, due to human-to-human transmission, or some type of mutual exposure.

Where did the name "Morgellons" come from..?

The name comes from a condition involving "black hairs" emerging from the skin of children which was documented in France in the 1600's. It is doubtful that the 17th century disease has anything to do with modern day Morgellons.

Will it affect my unborn child..?

Congenital transmission of the disease is, as yet, undetermined.

How do people get Morgellons Disease..?

The vector and delivery mechanism of the disease are, as yet, undetermined.

Is this a parasite..?

Many organisms have been found on the skin of individuals with this disease, but it remains unclear if they are the causative agent. The only consistencies seen, are the fibers (and other abnormal conditions of the skin) along with the cognitive issues.

Could this be bio-terror..?

As yet, undetermined.

Is there a cure..?

Though many report cures, unfortunately, we know of none that has helped each and every individual with Morgellons Disease.

Does anyone care..?

Very few medical practitioners recognize this disease or understand what the patients are going through. We are working daily to change that as we educate anyone in the healthcare industry.

What is the treatment..?

Some treatments and protocols have been tried by many of our registrants. Though some do report success, the majority of these trials seem to bring on short-lived "cures". The research is determined to find the causative agent(s) of this disease and establish a course of treatment which will prove beneficial for all who are infected.
