Default Is this meant to be folded?

Jo, are you planning to fold this? I'm assuming you are. If not I'd shift things around so the panel that reads Information Leaflet is on the far left.

This is a great start. I don't really believe the fliers have to have graphic images, it's my impulse to do them that way, but that's the designer in me. Information sources are important—especially at a rally. So your idea to put it together this way is a good one.

Couple of suggestions I have would be to relist the symptoms so that the defining symptoms (and the ones ppl are probably googling) are up top. Such as:
1. Itching/biting/crawling sensations
2. Lesions/sores
3. Fibers
4. Mental confusion, brain fog, poor concentration
5. Fatigue
6. White granules or black "specks"

I'd substitute "filaments" for fibers as that is how the majority of folks describe them (and searches for).

I like the idea you used on the cover panel to have the descriptive words angled but I'd swap some of them out for more common symptoms. Again, like the list above. Things like "stiff neck" can be part of so many other health issues that I'd stay away from highlighting them on the cover panel. Invisible nits is another I'd shy away from. I'm assuming that you mean invisible bugs in the environment. People are going to be confused by that.

One thing I thought you could include under "How can I tell if I have Morgellons" would be to shine a UV Black light on the body because the fibers are phosphorescent.

I'm wondering if you could send me the copy in an email? I've got some comments about the text—some ways to save space and delete a few lines that are not necessary to make room for a few more points but I don't want to type it all out.

... anyway, it's a great beginning.
