I've read quite a few accounts of morgie patients thinking that skin sores, and photographs of the match box sign are appropriate evidence to use in their long awaited hearings, as other believers encourage them along. Some of these patients have very serious conditions that they are seeing doctors for on a regular basis, and they have been successful with their claims. It's impossible to determine how many others could, and should, be drawing SSD, if they were only able to acknowledge, and treat, whatever mental (or physical) health condition has interferred with their ability to work. I firmly believe that the bulk of "morgellons disease" patients need someone assigned to help them with their various challenges.

I also would like to see something more than some police department's use of "excellent equipment" and their collected fiber sample database or their extended search of the FBI fiber sample database to identify this "horrible condition." I need more than their mind-boggling totally scientific diagnosis "...this is some strange stuff." Where is the CDC and the REAL scientific community? If this is the new PLAGUE of the Century, why aren't our best and brightest in the medical scientific community working night and day to prevent this scourge from infecting us all? Why is it attacking only those people with time to kill and no real life or skills to earn a living? It must be associated with the "Social Security Disability Check" disease that seems to rear its ugly head from time to time when the economy slows down and people start fearing lay-offs are looming. Hum . . . points to ponder. Oh, yes, by the way, I think your first fiber might be silk or even an eyelash or even ocean sponge, second, looks like it might be, sorry, no idea. Keep up the good fight debunking these wack-o illness, we have way to many real ones to worry about.

You know, I once read that Walmart is supposed to be one of the worst known places for spreading morgs too, because they sell so much underwear made out of chinese cotton. I've read that just walking into a Walmart makes some peoples' morgies flare up, angry, and start to bite. I'd also read that someone had planned to, or actually did, complain to a Walmart manager about that chinese cotton, too. Oh, TC.

I doubt that they realize that they have Morgellons, but I can spot a morgie a block away. Two people had what looked like pimples, but they weren't. One person was scratching their arm, but there wasn't anything visible there. That had to be a Morg causing the itch. One lady had blue hair. That's a dead give away. Also, two kids were picking their butts. That's a sure sign of Morgellons. I would call them aside and warn them about Morgellons, but they would probably just go into denial.

But, if you're up to the challenge, and would like to show that you have grounds for them, it might help sway someone's opinion into the direction that you know what you're talking about, for once. So, I suggest taking it to either your blog, or ours, so as not to take up unnecessary space here. Have you any good advice to reply back to a panicked, "THIS IS TRUE STUFF…MY MOTHER SUFFERS FROM THIS STUFF> HELP!!!!", since your mother has what you also believe is "morgellons disease"? I replied the way I did to FlipinLady, for good reason. To me, a short panicky plea for help, and nothing more, required a quick response into the direction of a geniune solution. Not that this is a support forum, and I considered that the large words at the top of the page were not seen by her. When I see cries for help, I generally react to them the way I interpret them. With people who believe in "morgellons disease", I haven't noticed anyone trying to help their situations yet.
