Morgellon's Critters on eBay

[chaosonline]

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

I think we should all offer to sell our collections to the highest bidder on eBay!!! This could be done either in groups of 10;20 etc.. or entire collections. I have collected over 700 Morgellon's critters that I have found on my body. I have digitally photographed them and know many others have done the same. They would be purchased and shipped all over the world. Even our Morgie "critter" pictures could be sold. After all they are totally unique.

If done right we could raise money for research, raise awareness and stir the CDC at the same time. I also propose enclosing the crystals and other of the more fascinating "critters" in amber and selling them as necklaces, bracelets, earrings, etc.!!!!!

In the Morgellon's community we could lighten things up and make money for the cause by by holding contests for the ugliest Morgie; the cutest; the funniest; the scariest etc. I use captions on some of mine. I have one that I call 'Chiquita Banana' because it looks like it has a huge hat another is in the outline of a bunny rabbit, I call it 'Bugs', I have an "ET" a "Roswell Debris Field" and an "Alien Giving Obscene Gesture". We could charge small fees for each entry set up a panel of judges (doctors, scientists, psychologists and microbiologists) and have fun the whole project.

Look, I know how deadly serious Morgellon's is because I live and struggle with it every day. We desperately need answers and we're not getting them so lets get radical and have fun too. I am willing to bet we would get the word out farther and faster than the methods used to date.

The CDC does not consider this a Disease and is evidently not too worried about the entire matter or it would have most certainly taken swift steps to investigate. So why not? I do think we should use a great deal of self-imposed caution with regards to packaging and shipping. Maybe the CDC could offer us some advice in that area. I will contact them on that phone number they have and leave a message on their recording letting letting them know what we are doing and asking them for tips on shipping the "Critters and Jewelry Worldwide".

I bet we could make more money off of delusions than any group in history!

you know with some of the crazy things sell on ebay, it just might work! people will buy anything. and yes, could make disease better respected, perhaps. i know some of the pictres taken of disease look like abstract paintings. they could be part of a modern art exhibit. i could see the "trendy" or even the goth folks happily buying lithographs and posters for their room afterall they are "colorful" i can even picture keychains and paperweights. can you tell i used to work at graceland in the giftshops? (LC).

Get out! At Graceland gift shop? How cool! I just bought a keychain that has a plastic 2x2 plastic picture frame I used for my gbaby. Any idea where I can find another? I bought it at Walgreens and we don't have them here.

Speaking of pictures of this to sell that look like art....I looked through my new micrscope yesterday trying to learn about using it and picked a scab (ewww gross, I know, to talk about) and looked at it and thought it looked like a really cool picture of some red continent, like a relief map.

Didn't see the nasty inhabitants, unfortunately. Still working on that.

Here is a copy of the email I sent to the CDC:
Dear CDC Representative,

I represent a group of Morgellon's sufferers and would like to take this opportunity to thank the CDC for it's planned contribution in researching this affliction.

I also would like to convey to the CDC that a new trend is beginning in the Morgellon's community. Hopefully someone there can assist with some helpful information.

Since many Morgellon's sufferers have a tendency to save their 'Morgellon's Critters" we will be offering our collections to the highest bidder on eBay. I personally have collected over 700 Morgellon's critters that I have found on my body. I have digitally photographed them and know many others have done the same. Hopefully they will be purchased and shipped all over the world. Even our Morgie "critter" pictures will be sold. After all they are totally unique.
If done right we will raise money for research and raise awareness for our cause. We will also be selling them as necklaces, bracelets, earrings, etc. Is it wise for us to do this or would we be taking chances of spreading this affliction? Would you advise us to enclose the jewelry in amber as a protective measure?

We desperately need answers and they're very slow in coming so although this might be viewed a somewhat radical we really feel the need to become active and have fun too. Many of us are self-quarantined and have a great deal of time on our hands. We long for more information so we can rejoin our families and loved ones. If the money we raise can help those answers come even a few days or weeks earlier it will be worth it.

We plan to use a great deal of self-imposed caution with regards to packaging and shipping. Maybe someone there at the CDC could offer us some advice in that area. We would appreciate any tips, hints or safety protocols on safe handling, disbursement and shipping of the 'Morgellon's Critters' and Jewelry Worldwide.

Sincerely,
Karen W.

Suzzie and I have commented on this a few times
We do not always find grotesque samples. Sometimes they are the most beautiful colors
crystals and seeds and yes sometimes colorful bugs. There are ones that we actually thought could be considered art someone would certainly want to add this to there collection of bizzare and unusual objects.

Ya know...... this is JUST the kind of thing my hero, Michael Moore may find interesting.
Yep....
