		<description>&lt;blockquote&gt;I’ve seen people say they are scratching themselves to cause the open sores, but don’t you think these people, even if ‘crazy’, would be able to recollect that?&lt;/blockquote&gt;

Even the most sensible sounding people who have self-diagnosed with Morgellons, such as Cindy Casey, freely admit to excessive scratching, even when told to stop scratching by their doctors.  See:

http://cherokeechas.com/Morg01.htm

&lt;blockquote&gt;Exam room – Cindy disrobed and Shelley looked at the lesions, which now are all over her buttocks, lower legs, forearms, thighs (these are very recent), upper back and (very few) on the scalp.  She was appalled that Cindy had been scratching them – well…  they ITCH, (bitch)..!  [...] Shelley gave Cindy explicit orders not to scratch and Cindy explained that it would take general anesthesia to keep her form scratching something that burns and itches as bad as this condition. &lt;/blockquote&gt;

And if you look at Lymebusters, where most of the media-promoted patients are from, there is no end to to discussion of people &quot;working&quot; on their lesions to &quot;extract&quot; the &quot;morgs&quot;  For example:

http://lymebusters.proboards39.com/index.cgi?board=rash&amp;action=display&amp;thread=10198

Of course, every case is different, and I&#039;m sure there are people who have self-diagnosed with Morgellons who do NOT pick or scratch, but instead have some other kind of  dermatological condition.

But this all misses the point.  The real point here is that there is no evidence that all these people are suffering from the same condition.  They seem to have a variety of different conditions.</description>

		<description>morgellons disease is a real condition.  maybe not in all cases, but it is real.  it is almost as if doctors are purposely discrediting the condition, on the behalf of someone higher up the chain.  I&#039;m not saying it is a government conspiracy, but the &#039;explanations&#039; seem more like empty excuses.  I&#039;ve seen people say they are scratching themselves to cause the open sores, but don&#039;t you think these people, even if &#039;crazy&#039;, would be able to recollect that?  even the people who pull out their own hair, strand by strand, can recall doing it.  morgellons seems to be concentrated in certain area&#039;s, so obviously there is some environmental factor causing this disease, whether it is in their heads or not.  considering this disease hasn&#039;t been reported prior to the industrial age, like many others we have these days, I&#039;m willing to blame it partially on that. 

I&#039;ve seen the fibers explained as possible fibers from clothes building up in there, but is there ever any proven tests of these fibers to show what they are made of?  

pretty much they are saying morgellons is a psychotic disease where you think you have bugs crawling under your skin, so you scratch at it, and you get sores, and these sores get clothes fibers in them, and voila...you&#039;ve got morgellons right?   well then why doesn&#039;t anyone hardly ever get fibers caught in their sores, gashes, cuts, etc, like they do with morgellons?   you would think everyone would get morgellon like fibers in those, but they don&#039;t.  so what makes it any different for these people?  surely they can&#039;t placing the fibers there on purpose.


sell assembling nano is a very sound idea, but it would need proof.  I could see self assembling nano wires being a very serious hazard for anyone, and the manufacturing processes aren&#039;t exactly environmental.  with all of the nano technology manufacturing rising, it is only a matter of time before we start seeing diseases related to it, just like other diseases are related to pollution from smoke stacks and other sources.  some people don&#039;t realize how small nano is, it&#039;s small enough to pass right through your cell membrane without even puncturing it, and small enough to even poke out individual pieces of your dna, so here you are with a sequence of GTTATTAC  and something nano comes along in the air, and passing right through your skin cells, and now you only have GTTATTC, or worse.</description>

		<description>Randy, I run this site, and I never said I would come visit you.  In fact I have explained several times why I would NOT come visit you, or any of the several other people who suggested such a thing. (I would not see anything that your doctor&#039;s had seen, and I trust the medical judgment of several doctors more than I trust my own medical judgment).

Other commenters may have said they would visit you, but that&#039;s between you and them.  

This site is just something I do as a hobby.  I hope I have helped people by providing a clear explanation of all sides of the subject.  I encourage people to work with their doctors, and to avoid quackery.</description>

		<description>I was told that the people that run this site would visit with me months ago and check out the truth. They have not. They still claim they are in the know about something they know nothing about and refuse to see a real person with this up close and personal.

Please collect your government checks and get a new job. You are exposed for who you truly are. Phoney frauds-debunkers who know nothing of what you speak.
LOSERS! I would love to trace this site to the DoD or Dept of Agriculture or PUUR.</description>

		<description>I have had the fiber diease for six months.   I bought a microscope and it took two months of  research to see the first fiber moving.  I think it is related to the cotton industry.  I also saw fibers moving on cotton Q tips and cotton balls. I know that some of you would send me to the funny farm but I am willing to take any mental test a doctor can throw at me. I saw a doctor today and he sent me on my way without so much as a goodby.  The fibers are on my face. they come out like a beard. I can shave them off and they will be back in two or three hours.  no hair grows that fast.  I know I used to be a barber.  They are in a tightly packed  plug, they unravel and  they start to crawl over you.   The CDC has given money to a doctor in Calf. to study the problem. I hope this info will help someone.

		<description>That&#039;s an old video, back from January 12 2008.  They don&#039;t actually mention anything as any possible cause, as it would prejudge the investigation.</description>
