Morgellons

Morgellons

Morgellons stands as a very poorly understood disease that some doctors seem to believe if a chronic infectious disease. Sadly, the disease is usually disfiguring as well as disabling. The disease is classified by biting, itching, or crawling sensations, filaments that grow from the skin, and skin lesions, as well as memory loss, joint paint, and fatigue. Morgellons is still not recognized by the entire medical community, but there have been about 2,000 people within the U.S. who believe they suffer from the disease. Some of the reports are children, who are said to be unable to do normal things such as going to school or playing sports. There is no known cure or effective treatment for Morgellons. Mutiply colors have been found (white, blue, black, red). In particular a burning or itching sensation as if small parasites are crawling on or under the skin. Many of the symptoms are shared, but no one symptom is shared by all individuals, but painful sensations under the skin and accompanying physical structures (fibers and granules) are the most consistent symptoms reported.
