This is a bit urgent, so if you have the time, please respond.

Additionally, how many of you believe in a synthesis theory-one that includes perhaps an organic onset by a bug bite, plant virus, ect but seems to change into something more....synthetic in nature. Just curious.

So lets see a poll,good idea,Well it started in the rural hospital,seems like after 2 months of 40 patients to 1 nurse(disgusting treatment for humans)booh booh This nurse noticed the rashes(hush hush)You are not supposed to notice that every patient and nurse aide has got a rash..oh yeah.....well adminstration didn't seem to at all give a damn.....there were over 100 tubes of permethin in the med room(this place has bugs!!!!!!!!!!)Well these aren't just any kind of buggss...so I got the hell out of there but brought the bugggs(most obviously the collembola variety)and in about 1-2 months after this wonderful rotation i had full blown morgellons....and I do see springtails specifically and have all the symptoms of morgellons...typical back lesions,facial lesions,brown fibers,white peeling wormy things.....but I have mms,and a protocol to follow the best I can...it could be worse and I tried to sic the dumpy hospital with public health and every inspector i could think of but they passed this off as dermatitis and all those patients suffering with this garbage...and the help,including nursing totally in the dark..yuk..it's ok I guess...acceptance is difficult for this person taught to help and nurture and all the lying and deception ....not done with them yet!!!!!!!!!!!!!but then I am sick for now.Rose

Yep,it's good to report everything.I think also I am a psychic sponge of a nurse.So I was already exhausted from very long nursing hours and superscabies morphed into morgellons for me overnight.I have all the pre-existing conditions like bipolar 2,adhd,fibromyalgia,prob.adrenal exhaustion..worst part was too compassionate for job...not to say I am some saint..Not but I cared about things others could ignore....I couldn't..I am a bit surprised because I was so energetic for so long and then this(32 years of nursing)but always ate pretty clean diet but got into chronic exhaustion from job last 3-5 years....now on disability

When I was four we got a horse form Texas. He always seemed itchy, tail swithcing, and had white, crunchy dandruff (or so I thought) balls all over him no matter how often I washed him. He died prematurely, as well as several pets in the yard. I think I got it from the Texas horse. I have a feeling it has to do with the hay that he ate. Perhaps pesticides sprayed on hay crops and alfalfa created some super fungus...?

There must be a connnection between the permitherin -or the springtails. I think my problem started with mites/lice. i also used permitherin to b the house, on my body with Rid/Nix -which did not work to rid the lice. i finally smothered them with olive oil/mayo/garlic/hot paprika/used tee tree oil/vinegar for rinse. I have bathed in borax/salt-and they are diminishing in numbers. I use tape-remove them and observe them under microscope. I am doing experiments to see what liquid eradicates them-I think the salt may do so as I think they are a bacteria/worm-not a fiber.
Interesting that nurses and teachers get this the most-I am a teacher.

my symptom is isolated.. its all on my head.. morgellons fibres has replaced every natural thread of hair on my head.. and they are alive and i hear them chirp like christmas beatles.. and it looks like their main aim is to target my eyes my ears and my nose

[skullgirlboo]

I fully believe it is due to a number of reasons not a few. First and formost the pesticides ect. they have been spraying on our fruit and vegetable. GMO foods-considering the lack of testing on these modified genes and also the instability of their nature. Insects have a large part to play but for 1 person there is around 200,000 insects, they are responsable for the maintenance of this earth and work in a much smaller universe then us and are also highly evolved.

Myiasis-particulary from the Demodex mite.

Stress

Damp-both having a damp body and/or environment.

Please take it slow with all of these "cures" for morgellons. We have all been over whelmed by the different theories and opinions for this problem. Because it is a desperate situation we have found our selves in... we tend to do desperate things for a "cure". We have read and heard so much crap about this morgellons that it just has to be some wacked out, crazy thing. I say keep it simple.
You know the saying...if you hear hooves, think horse, not zebra.
Get down to basics. You can do some very damaging things for a short term "cure". Any one that has had this a while knows there is a cycle to this. It starts with the weirdo bug bites and the crawling and movement on the skin.

Have you been burning any candles or inscence with strong sweet or flowery aroma recently? How about the things that people can plug in the electrical sockets that they sell at the grocery store. Think back. Vanilla was my favorite scent to burn. This is an invitation to the bug/mites and they come to the party in droves. Get rid of this sweet/floral stuff PRONTO. We invited them in... now it's time to tell them to get the hell out!!!
Buy your self the best essential oil NEBULIZER that you can afford. I bought mine from my acupuncture doctor, but you can buy one on line. Remember, not just a diffuser but a nebulizer.
The essential oil mix I use in the nebulizer: All the things that repel the bugs
tea tree, niaoli, thyme, citronella, lavender, and a few others in the mix that I have to get back to you on, as I can't read the writing of my doctor. I will get back to you on monday with the total ingredients.This works in a few hours. Run the nebulizer at full blast. Start in your bedroom if that is where you feel this critters the most then move to your couch area. I am not kidding, they will be gone in a few hours!. The bug/mites are history. I am sure there will be some residual eggs left behind, but just turn it on again. Don't forget to vacume.
We are breaking the cycle of Morgellons in a natural and healthy way. When we break the cycle all things are possible.
I know alot of people use essential oils, but it is the way that they are delivered to the enviroment that matters the most. Please be opened minded about the nebulizer. It will work. Thank you, Janice

Thank you, Janice, for your advice about taking Morgellons treatments. Very sage, sound advice! Its so hard to treat oneself when the situation's so desperate. What you say cannot be said enough.

Hi "Janice"! Thank you for posting this, so very many, many times for us.
I will NEVER give up hope that a safe, affordable cure is possible for us. We deserve that!
I think Slow Down is likely NOT a viable option for a Morgellon's victim suffering, without help, for 30 years, that can't work.
Nor for a mother whose children are screaming at night, from pain and she doesn't know how to help them...
Please stop by the Treatment Forum, which is also the proper place for any VERY aggressive sales agendas:

Now, it all makes sense!

I was composting at home (vermi-compost). Bins got infestation of fungus gnats, fruit flies, drain flies. Shortly after getting rid of them, I woke to some sort of bites on my ankle. Itched terribly and it 3-4 weeks to go away.

Right as it healed, I began to itch and feel bitten with crawling everywhere. No rashes, no bite marks, no visible bugs in the environment.

My theory is that whatever gave me the actual bites the first time might have laid eggs in me that took a few weeks to hatch.

I do have (had) a dog so it could have been a flea, but I don't think so. She wasn't itching.

The bins were so obviously diseased, I feel very strongly it was them. By the way, worm bins have many creatures living in them besides worms... bacteria, mites, collembola (springtails), fungi, to name a few.

Who knew you could get sick from them.
