That's right, it is all suspect till we know just exactly what is causing Morgellons...
When I say I keep clean, obviously I am not saying "sterile" - that's impossible - but I keep the numbers of pathogens down through reasonable cleaning procedures and practices. Yup, I don't touch money or door knobs if I can help it, and wash my hands after I do if I can't. Always put those wipes that are available at the entrances of Publix markets on the handle of shopping carts. Changes my shoes at the door when I come in and wear washable slippers indoors.
Now, if I can only get my cat to stop laying in the dirt outside
And I eat "clean food" as much as possible - meaning mostly organic or whole foods that don't have all kinds of things added to it.
I have recently begun to play golf again after a 2 year hiatus. It has been a big part of my life for almost 30 years and playing again was an important step in reclaiming my life. And I have started feeding the ducks again at a dirty pond (though I don't step on the dirt there, stay on the sidewalk). Birds were also a HUGE part of my life - I bred them for 10 years - and I lost my entire aviary of 50 birds in 2007.
Now, I'd like to get shock treatments or psycho-surgery to eradicate the memories of the things I saw at the height of this nightmare. Cuz no matter how "well" I am doing, I am haunted by those images and experiences.

PS - I still don't get the part about digging in the dirt - you have a job digging for buried treasure for the gov??? hahahahaha!!!
