Looks like Ninja was right about the Morgellons, Jo.
OMG It really is everywhere!!

The sounds just gone on my PC so I couldn't hear what was said about the results .Anything??

Hey there Carls,

They analyzed the white flakes from her scalp lesion and in the video said, definitely no fungus, but she did have Streptococcus aureus and was given antibiotics.....

I like the way they said 'It's harmless and a simple course of antibiotics should restore everything to normal' !! I hope for her sake it did but have no confidence.. Hx

Another one from UK telly.
What do you think this might be? My diagnosis is advanced Morgellons.

In the second video the patient mentions the lesions started 15 years ago(?).

The Doctor said she has warts and points one out on the bottom of her foot. Does anyone else here have "warts"? I have a small one on the inside of the second joint on my ring finger. If I start digging at it I pull out a semi-hard white (white white) plastic substance. I think it is a root tip....

Thanks for the videos! I decided a while ago not to sign up for any tv show, chicken little here!

In the white light,

Hey Jonester!!! Where've ya been? (to London to visit the Queen?)

Aren't warts a form of herpes? On bottom of foot are plantar warts. I love how the doctors need to know the muscles of the body in order to name warts. Google warts and you get herpes, HPV, ringworm (huh?) candida, eczema.....(yawn)....where was I??????

Hi All....There is a newseries of embarrasing bodies, its a hit in the U.K. you can see the programme by registering on 4OD channel 4 on demand, there areloads of unbelievable spotty people on it, on prog 3 I'm sure the woman has Morgallons thats shown on it.

You will see a lots of willies & lady bits up close so if queamish dont watch, but its a very interesting programme.

We have some similar shows over here in the states too guys. Though you guys would know more than I would, I never considered morgellons as particularly embarrassing, more scary if anything.

Though, I can understand how It can be embarrassing at times. It could be my imagination, but it seems like these shows are becoming more and more popular on TV these days.
