Doesn’t that then tell you there IS something going on.

And we are all suffering from the same “underlying” cause??

I think so anyway, but what I think means diddly squat!

Why do you go for the far-fetched explanation first?

A few years back I was somewhat intrigued by an article I’d read on this disease. It didn’t seem so far-fetched to me. At one time I’m sure the atom was hard for some certain college educated doctors to fathom.

I had forgotten all about Morgellon’s until discussing some physical/mental ailments with my mom recently. She’s got sores all over her. All over her legs and arms. I was just gonna tell her to see a dermatologist, but then she started telling me about the little, white “parasites” she was pulling out of her skin. She said they move. And that they fight her. And that she only manages to pull one out every few months because the pain is unbearable. She told me she’ll save the next one for me.

I know what you’re thinking. “This guy’s mother is a hypochondriac who saw a news report about Morgellon’s and has watched too many X-Files”. Mom doesn’t have cable television. Mom doesn’t know how to use the internet. Mom isn’t the most intelligent person. Seriously. I don’t think she could begin to comprehend such a thing. She’s far too simple-minded. She reads and has trouble with children’s books.

So anyway, I’ve been doing some research over the past few days on this Morgellon’s thing. She has some a very good amount of the symptoms.

I’m mostly convinced this thing is real. Whether it’s a nanotechnological mind-control conspiracy of the government’s or demon-possession or aliens or nothing more than a semi-harmless parasite which has existed for hundreds of years mostly under the radar, I am almost certain that this thing exists.

Some college kids need to quit being such snooty jerks and consider the possibility. It’s not all that far-fetched. Nuclear power is more far-fetched. Radiation poisoning is far-fetched. Nano robots are far-fetched. METAPHYSICS IS INSANE! But your college professors will not argue stuff like that. Think about it.

You people don’t know my mother like I do. She’s just not smart enough to make something like this up! Not educated enough! And dammit, her body is covered in the sores to prove it.

And this Neem King guy has a very good point with the cotton thing. That’s exactly what I thought after reading the connection this disease may have with cotton. Mom bandages up her wounds with light amounts of cotton gauze to ensure the sores proper breathing for healing (at the suggestion of my dad) and also to help ensure that she doesn’t pick at the affected areas, but the wounds BECOME WORSE. It’s circumstantial, but it still makes me wonder. And who knows. Maybe she’s allergic to cotton. But it’s recent if that’s the case.

Stick that in your pipe and smoke it!

It seems that considering cotton is the most genetically modified plant on earth, and as we are all wearing it, something was bound to go wrong.
Don’t think you can mess with nature when you understand very little about DNA and the gene abnormalities you produce, and just get away with it.
The genetic modification of cotton will surely lead to a total boycott of the stuff as people realize no one has any idea of the consequences.
Personally, I am doing away with all cotton, and replacing it with hemp, wool, and silk, as it was 200 years ago before the Americans started cotton farms with Negro slaves.
Evil then, and evil now!
Could it be that Dr Deagle is right, and it is a silicon based alien life form.

I hope not or we are screwed.

For you fools who belittle those who claim to have this disease, consider this; the greater scientific community of educated experts once agreed the world was flat, that there was no merit to sterilizing surgical tools, and that the sun was the center of the universe. If you haven’t got something constructive to say or do, then you are just wasting everyones time, including your own. Go back to your beer and sitcoms, we don’t need any more negativaty from small minded ignoramus.
