Hello,
Hai Kritters, yes, when I came to this Forum, I was thinking that the Morgellons disease was caused by a fungi along with a small fly. The flies and their larvae(nymph) were expected to cause the external lesions and allbody insect biting and crawling sensation mainly at night. The flies are smaller than one millimeter in size and broadly may be classified as Noseeums. I understand that the Noseeums are well known intruders in California and Florida areas during Spring season and are also known to spread filerial worms.
I thought that the worm factor is optional and may not be present in all Morgellons patients. But after reading Sarothra's posts, it appears that the worm factor is an essential term, may be more important than the fly, since there are reports that the disease also manifests itself without external lesions. I could imagine that slime is required for the fungus to live under the human skin and I thought this could be taken care of by the presence of a slime fungi in addition to a filamentous fungi. But, the case of finding the worms on intestinal cleansing immediately after the insect bites which triggered the Morgellons' symptoms shows that worms were already there even before the insects came. Incidently, the referred case is taken from MRO's site under Patient Survey section. Again, some worm like attachments are seen on the Morgellons creature photos shown at MRO's site. So, may be the worms are as important as the fungi and the insect may not be always there?. Intestinal cleansing and deworming , therefore, should be an important aspect of Morgellons disease control protocol.
Sorry to hear you are in pains.
With Regards,
Yours B  |
