This could explain the callous

I ran across some info on trichinosis. No, I don't think Morgellons is caused by the trichinosis round-worm - BUT it has several characteristics that sound like what I'm dealing with.

First, trichinosis is caused by a nematode. It causes periorbital swelling (around eyes) and other swellings, muscle weakness, anorexia (loss of appetite), fever (in the beginning), diarrhea, nausea - and others.

I don't think we have the same nematode as this disease, but the really interesting thing is that the larva encapsulate, using KERATIN. This is actually our own bodies' responses to the larva.


See what you think....

# Anti-parasite medication. Anti-parasite (anti-helminthic) medication is the first line of treatment against trichinosis. If the trichinella parasite is discovered early, in the intestinal phase, albendazole (Albenza) or mebendazole can be effective in eliminating the intestinal worms and larvae. You may have mild gastrointestinal side effects during the course of treatment, and you may need to take repeat doses to get rid of the infestation completely. If the disease is discovered after the muscle invasion stage, anti-parasite medications are no longer effective in eliminating the parasite.

Nematodes have no circulatory or respiratory systems, so they use diffusion to breathe and for circulation of substances around their body. Nematodes have a simple nervous system, with a main nerve cord running along the ventral side. (Could be one of fibers we see?)

The nematode epidermis secretes a layered cuticle made of keratin that protects the body from drying out, from digestive juices, or from other harsh environments. Although this cuticle allows movement and shape changes via a hydrostatic skeletonal system, it is very inelastic and does not allow the volume of the worm to increase. Therefore, as the worm grows, it has to molt (ecdysis) and form new cuticles. As cuticles do not allow volume to increase, high hydrostatic pressure is maintained inside the organism, yielding the round form of the worms.

About 50 species of roundworms cause enormous economic damage or physical suffering as parasites of plants and animals, and humans themselves are host to about 50 different roundworm species (Towle 1989).

It sounds feasible that the larva of the Morgellon nematode is encapsulated in a hard callous of keratin. This would explain why biopsies come up negative. The technicians aren't going to see the actual larva because it is inside the callous.

This is another reason for me to keep pushing on them - at least the ones that are like hard callouses. I feel something crush "in there" when I pinch them. I hope I'm doing some good crushing that larva.

This also explains why I think the lesion is "healing", when it has it's callous and nothing is happening. Then all the sudden, it starts to swell and then I see the lines coming out of it - the worms hatching out.

The longer I have this the more I understand.

Hey Sar,
If the technician reading our MRIS and cat scans aren't trained to look for parasitic infections they'll never find it and not many of them are qualified to do it.so they are always overlooked.i agree with the thickened skin theory(calloused skin) it is them imbedded in our skin. and your absoulutely right you learn as you live thru it it shows us something new thru each stage it goes thru and def as it increases in size and strength! they need to be killed!
Love Ya!
