		<description>H E L L O , IS  THERE ANYBODY OUT THERE WHO ACTUALLY CARES EVEN THOUGH THEY ARE NOT SUFFERING. I DONT SEE ANY SIGNS OF IT .

i believe it to be true because they are in stages .the life cycle …look it up

i would have a place heal up and they would lay eggs on another part of my body. the omish have helped tremendously though. but from what i experienced the skin condition thats hurting and killing people are birdmites ,birdlice,etc..and you have to get down to that last one.

sorry, i dont mean to come off as rude be we (THE SUFFERERS) NEED TO BE LISTENED TO AND THEN UNDERSTANDING WOULD FOLLOW.ONE STEP AT A TIME.ONE DAY AT A TIME

please reply</description>

		<description>Sandra, an infestation of bird mites can certainly make you be overly sensitive to itching.  Bird mites are not Morgellons though.  It&#039;s just one of many possible causes of these symptoms.</description>

		<description>iblieve birdmites and morgellons are the same thing

this happened to me after trying to save some baby bird eggs bcuz the mother bird was DEAD. NO MATTER WHAT YOU DO THERE ARE THINGS CRAWLING ON YOUR SKIN.

i have currently been scoping this out on a daily basis, since its happened to me and ive learned how these things are working. the cdc will not answer my phone calls doctors and derms are pushing me away. i believe i could be of some help if someone would listen to me .any responces would be greatly appreciated from one human being 2 another.</description>

		<description>Many diseases leave residual toxins in the body. This can trigger an auto-immune disorder. Most people who have read the studies on morgellon&#039;s disease can find links between one disease or another, but without causal evidence stating that one disease is the cause is fruitless. 
It is probably best to say that Morgellon&#039;s is simply a breakdown in the way that the body normally acts, and seems to be related to previously having a disease, whether chronic or simply very severe in nature.</description>

		<description>Chronic Lyme Disease is not recognized by the medical community as being a legitimate disease. Some quack doctors and nurses, however, diagnose their patients with Chronic Lyme Disease so they can prescribe antibiotics indefinitely. This requires many additional and unnecessary appointments, and some of these &quot;so-called&quot; Lyme Literate Doctors charge outrageous prices. They know that these patients, actually suffering from something else, will pay the price. Not only is this draining the patients financially, but the extended use of antibiotics is causing bacteria to mutate. This creates &quot;superbugs&quot; and renders the antibiotic useless, thus putting everyone at risk. This is also happening with Morgellons. It&#039;s not a disease, or even a medical condition, yet some greedy and irresponsible doctors and nurses are taking advantage of their patients gullibility in the same way that they are with Chronic Lyme disease. In most cases, the patients that believe they have these non-existent diseases are mentally ill, and taking advantage of these patients is worse than criminal. What can be done about it? Hopefully the CDC will alert the proper authorities and see to it that these practicianer&#039;s licenses are revoked and the doctors and nurses proscecuted.</description>

		<description>How many times has the MRF stated that Morgellons is an emerging infectious disease? Now, in a single paragraph, it calls Morgellons &quot;an&quot; illness and also &quot;a full spectrum of illnesses&quot;. They can&#039;t have it both ways, but they seem to be trying to. We&#039;ve said all along that the Morgellons patients have a wide variety of physical problems, plus some that are mental. Now, the MRF seems to be saying the same thing, and although it admits that they have cognitive disfunction, it won&#039;t admit that the patients have delusional parasitosis. It seems strange that the MRF would attribute the fibers to Actinomyces israelii after Wymore&#039;s claims that they withstood a temperature of 1400 degrees, and now it seems to have shelved its ideas about Agrobacterium. So, where is it going with this? is it panicing, and baling out, or is it simply trying to design this made up disease to please as many patients as it possibly can? It seems to be blaming the patients for self-diagnosing themselves with Morgellons, although the MRF is the reason for it, and at the same time wording things in such a way that the patients will think it agrees with the diagnosis and blames the medical community for misdiagnosing them with DOP, and, of course, forcing them to self-diagnose. Again, they seem to want it both ways. Stricker seems to be leaning towards AIDS and Harvey toward lyme coinfections, but it seems that they are trying to broaden the field to give themselves a safer position. In my opinion, it is insane, fraudulant, and highly exploitive. In my opinion, these people are criminals, and hopefully the CDC will see to it that this racket is busted and the criminals are put behind bars.

		<description>Michael, you&#039;re joking, right?  Do you think any of these patients who can&#039;t take care of their mental health needs &quot;get it&quot;?  The &quot;morgellons disease&quot; network has always talked their language for a damned good reason.  Every last one of &#039;em needs the heavy hand of the law to come down hard on &#039;em, too.</description>

		<description>I don&#039;t get it.  All of a sudden it&#039;s formication and neurological problems from &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.emedicine.com/med/topic794.htm&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;Filariasis&lt;/a&gt; and fibers from &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.emedicine.com/med/topic31.htm&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;Actinomycosis&lt;/a&gt;?  Who&#039;s writing this stuff?  It&#039;s fascinating.

It does not bode well for the MRF to be taken seriously.</description>
