Hi 2mf,

Glad you have found some relief for yourself. Not sure I agree with causative factors for morgellons, as I did catch this from eating fish. Dramatic onset described elsewhere in greater length. I think it is a group of parasites from the fish which has caused my symptoms. IMHO. I also feel that most who have morgellons may also have a dysfunctional lymph system. Slow. Which would cause some the dimpling of skin that you mention, but as I say this is all IMO.

I would like to warn others that benzyl peroxide may cause a severe allergic reaction in some people. I am one. I think the hypersensitivity may have developed from eating wheat flour. It is often used to bleach food such as flour, maraschino cherries, pickles, whey and cheese! Go organic I guess for that one. Benzoic acid (food preservative) is another one for me to avoid (breakdown product of benzyl peroxide and also a food additive). Just one time I used benzyl peroxide from a dermatologist and my face and ears swelled up and I became exceedingly dizzy. If used in the 10% prescription strength be careful. After that reaction I started staying away from the foods which might be bleached with benzyl peroxide. Cheese is something I should avoid anyway due to the mold content(though I love cheese!). The modern food world is a mine field for those who are sensitive to additives.

best,
