I agree with the others that there are many possibles to the how and why of Morgellons Disease. However, I looked at the resouces this paper cited and I found them VERY interesting. Namely TWO. The first talks of a bacterial pathogen. " P. luminescens and P. temperata form a symbiotic relationship with nematodes that infect insects"
Here is the short paper- Human infection with Photorhabdus asymbiotica: an emerging bacterial pathogen: Human infection with Photorhabdus asymbiotica: an ... [Microbes Infect. 2004] - PubMed result . The second paper states- "Three of the five strains were from patients in San Antonio, Tex.
" Here is the second short paper- Xenorhabdus luminescens (DNA hybridization group 5) from human clinical specimens: Xenorhabdus luminescens (DNA hybridization group 5... [J Clin Microbiol. 1989] - PubMed result .
Note also from the second paper this "Two case histories of strains from wounds are given; these suggest that X. luminescens DNA hybridization group 5 may be a new bacterial agent that causes wound infections. The two cases of wound infection, along with the two blood isolates, suggest that the new organism is clinically significant."
I have seen many things posted on this board but FEW that tie in pathogens, insects, the blood and wound just like it does with US. That it infects humans. I will do a reply in a bit regarding some facts I DO know regarding Morgellons disease you may find interesting as this is the third time I have lost my post and it is frustrating. (LC)
