Spouse's buy-in, reinfestation

[annesco]

Here is my question: My husband does not believe that I have Morgellons, and he obviously doesn't believe that he has it either.

I routinely wash all of my clothes and things pretty much as soon as I wear/use them, but I can't get him to do the same. He will wear a pair of dress pants and shirt for work once and then hang them in the closet and wear again. There really is no way to get him to change this behaviour. Am I fighting a losing battle because I will constantly be reinfected? He sleeps in our bed and the sheets aren't changed every day.

If I am fighting this losing battle, i don't know what I will do...

I personally don't change my sheets daily but I do vacuum sheets, bed and floor regularly. The best allergenic vacuum on the market is hands down FILTER QUEEN (canister vacuum), FilterQueen Indoor Air Quality System - Majestic, Defender, with filtration down to 99.98% or .01 microns with Captiva and charcoal filtration. They run over $1000+ new or one could purchase a less expensive used/one on eBay? Also, dust regularly with orange glo and avoid stiring up dust when possible. I can only say I have made significant progress with my body and skin and am just now searching for the ultimate way to kill the parasitical fiber spore from the surrounding air and environment. I want to be freed from this disease. I have have some success with Moldstat and also neem oil. It is a battle and will not be a one pill cures all method. My personal opinion is that Morgellons sufferers must cleanse the blood, skin and environment in a united and simultaneous effort in order to combat and conquer this disease-transmitting parasite. Godspeed!

I have had this 39 years, yup, and I keep a clean home but I will never be frantic or manic about cleaning, WE ARE A MORGELLONS FACTORY, every cell in our body is indited.

We can not get away from the products we are producing, they are no more dangerous to us than a speck of sand is to the universe.

IF we are full to the top with this, and we lay down and spread what is most likely the waste material of this around, what chance is there that the factory will be afflicted by the product.

I do not think there is much chance of that.

I have been fighting the disease for a long time, 39 years with it, at times I was more or less afflicted by tiny issues, it took 32 of those year to grow the bright red growths from NOTHING to large hidden tumors hidden under the skin, to having them BURST upon the surface of the flesh all at once as though I had just caught something. I did not just catch something, what I found is that the small tiny red material had grown under skin all these years into a vein fed growth, the lesion on the skin is just the top of this growth breaking the skin to look like a skin problem.

This is not just a skin problem, it is systemic.

No amount of your cleaning the home is going to stop the factory from producing the same amount of product every day, of course keep your environment clean but do not drive your husband away.

If he wants to live in denial, let him, if he wants to sleep in his bunny suit without washing it let him, you will not be worse for the little bit of this mess thats on the fabric, because we are the FACTORY.

NOW, clean the factory up and the environment outside the factory will be better, spend 99.9 percent getting this out of your skin and out of your body, do not mess with bug poison, nobody including all the doctors have seen A bug that is a common parasitic infestation.

I had a contest once to produce a dancing bug that comes out of the skin MOVING for entertainment, nobody came up with one.

I do have a video of one parasite that was in my urine and he is moving, would I imagine that it is the cause of all my issues, maybe, but I can not prove it.

If you think you have parasites, well, you may want to get a doctor to give you a prescription to out them, a wide range anti parasitic drug.

Do it and get over the bug thing, don't look back, you can catch 20 parasites a day from drinking water or eating food.

Exercise and eat fresh food, if you want to be manic, be manic about cleaning the food that goes into your body, stop spraying poison all around, clean with enzymes, read up on ozone water and other ways to make sure your food has no pesticide or parasites on it.

KEEP THE BODY free of this junk getting in, and less will come out.

Manic cleaning is just low grade exercise.

Baraka, very well put as usual. your so right this stuff is in our system and we have too live with it until someone comes up with a hail mary pass. and we catch it. sammy

I have M. spouse does not. we have cohabitated for nearly 9 years. I understand your concerns.

I'm thinking that reusing towels etc is bad. even if M is not easily contagioius, other things are, such as say, athlete's foot. generally fungal infections and HPV wart pathogen is transmitted on contaminated textiles. be less concerned with the mysterious M pathogen and diligent about the normal ones.

we do not obsess on laundry, vacuum etc but are very diligent and extremely careful about shared cups, soiled towels etc. cups and forks etc all get run through the dishwasher or handwashed insoap and hot water with hot water heater set to 130F. towels, socks, sheets all get a bit of bleach or peroxide and hung in UV sunshine or hot cycle in dryer etc etc. we deep clean everything spring and fall. good hygeine practices are a must-do, but I don't think anything special should be done for M. I have high standards in this department and for example can live in the same home as someone with a severe flu and stay well. I never caught an upper respiratory illness from a patient when I had my clinic. but yes, I have good attention to sanitation.

This is all very helpful, thank you all. He's a good egg, despite his insistent blindness to this all. Even on my worst days, when I feel like a thousand fire ants are crawling on me, and I can barely sit still because of the things sneaking in and out of my eyes and ears, I don't talk to him about it. Why rock the boat? I have developed a slight tendency to shy away a bit when he hugs me if he's not wearing clean clothes, and I know it's wrong. I've just become so overly sensitized and paranoid. As I stated before, I really think he has it as well, but isn't as severely affected as I am, or he simply has made up his mind that it doesn't exist.

Thanks again! I've been with this man since I was 15, so a 40 year relationship would be a sad thing to lose.

two thoughts - men have fewer nerves in the skin so even with identical level of any skin problem women will suffer more sensation. this is from estrogen, the same thing that gives females softer skin.

I went through periods of M with thin and/or extremely irritable skin. know what you mean about the hug with dirty clothes on....but affection always outweighs my skin discomfort.

Jean,thanks for describing my skin as soft and feminine.I now see myself in a new light.Maybe I can get in touch with my feminine side and I never knew how.You do that I'm joking,Jean.How are you doing since we last spoke a few mths. back?

[Baraka Obam]

When this was situation was in full blown itching sequence I garantee you I was a woman then.LOL

Like annesco said like red ants were all over me, the attack lasted a few weeks but OMG in that few weeks I knew that I would not be on this planet if it kept on for a few more weeks.

After that attack and over the years, most of my itching was in my ears and some times that was unbearable.

Most times there was no itching at all.

In the late 1990's there was a report of a new unknown parasite, in China, from which there was no known cure. It's name? "STRONGYLUS MONOSPINIGERUM" AKA THE LINT PARASITE. It cocoons itself and disguises itself as lint. If you have Morgellons, its in your home right now breeding and multiplying by the millions in a fiber spore-like AIRBORNE pathway. It melts into your skin, enters your bloodstream and takes refuge in your organs and body. It nests in your skeletal spine, cartilage e.g. knuckles, elbows knees and other joints and central nervous system. It moves under the skin, laying eggs in hair follicles, where it seeks protein nutients of fiber from type I collagen, fibrocartilage, (in the form of elongated fibril). Also, "Chitin" which is a long-chain polymer of a N-acetylglucosamine Chitin, a derivative of glucose, and is found in many places throughout the natural world. It is the main component of the cell walls of fungi, the exoskeletons of arthropods such as crustaceans (e.g., crabs, lobsters and shrimps) and insects, the radulas of mollusks, and the beaks of cephalopods, including squid and octopuses. In terms of structure, chitin may be compared to the polysaccharide cellulose and, in terms of function, to the protein keratin. As the eggs hatch, swelling, itching and lesions appear as this parasite transforms its host into a body of fiber tissue. When it comes out to feed it petrudes the skin (biting/itching) and feeds off your cotton (cellulose). Items such as e.g. clothes, socks, ect.. It will nest in your shoes, carpet, clothes, ect.. I have physical proof it is a single yet complex organism. To describe it I'll say it like this: Imagine if you could separate/detach pieces of your body and send them out to hunt/ complete tasks/missions for you. What's the task/mission? To hunt and gather cotton fibers. Why cotton? Answer; cotton fibre is almost pure cellulose. What is cellulose? Cellulose is an organic compound with polysaccharide consisting of a linear chain of several hundred to over ten thousand linked D-glucose units. Cellulose is the structural component of the primary cell wall of green plants, many forms of many forms of algae and the oomycetes. Some species of bacteria secrete it to form biofilms. Cellulose is the most common organic compound on Earth About 33% of all plant matter is cellulose (the cellulose content of cotton is 90% and that of wood is 40–50%. The Strongylus Monospinigerum communicates cell to cell as one. It can dispatch pieces of the body parts/micro-organism's. They have the capability to regroup and communicate. When they finish the task they regroup back to the mothership or start a new chain. That's the cycle of the parasite "strongylus monospinigerum". It feeds off cotton; clothing, ect.. Is it in need of components in the human body to complete it's life cycle or simply taking refuge? Answer: yes it needs a host although it may lay dormant for unknown periods of time, perhaps years! Curious? Take a 150 watt light and start to scratch your head or arm and watch as the lint spores fly off and show intelligent capabilities. They can move fast, float upward toward light, group with others and many will seek out your cotton t-shirt. They bind together and even when separate are one enity. Yes they are in your blood, your skin and your environment. Until we can find a way to kill it in all three areas, we will not be free from this mico-predator. Which grows to inches long. I have collected them from lint/spore size to 4 inches long! Many will say I don't have symptoms like that or I haven't noticed that! Get a flood light and start looking/studying the dust/particles in your air. IT'S AIRBORNE! Look for lint on your bed sheets! Look for spects of lint! Place the lint by each other. Use a napkin or tissue, gently pass over it, it binds together. Try getting two pieces of Morgellons lint together, they bind. Ect. ect.. this is how they grow by binding. Forming a cocoon and moprhing into one. They don't crawl but will have nematode-like tendencies (standing upright when brushed they latch to fiber clothe, sheets, clothes, ect.. They are in your body coming out as fibers. Gathering growing inside and out. STAY AWAY FROM COTTON, ITS FOOD SOURCE. Which brings up another point of interest. Hydrogen Peroxide (bad idea) this parasite may use hydrogen as a component to bind itself and also to break down polymers called degradation in cartilage. Products made from cotton could include but are not limited to t-shirts. Sheets, carpet, upholstery, toilet paper, Q-tips, towels, ect. Ect. No wonder its thriving! COTTON IS EVERYWHERE! Godspeed!
