Morgellons: A hidden epidemic or mass hysteria?

Secure government funding for climate change and Morgellons, a duality of disaster in the making.

You'll be surprised at how many cases of Morgellons will show up and become exponentially increased as climate change attacks us all with a newer more virulent Morgellons that has climate hardened itself.

I was going to mention the one parasite that lives in the rivers of I think India and go up a man’s penis. But a spiny fish, ouch....then there is the worm that enters via your foot if you have a sore or open area.....around the world a lot of people go barefoot....(me too when I can)...

Some day I'll explain to you the bizarre complex fife stages and morphology of the liver fluke. It involves snails who vomit after eating eggs, ants who cannot resist the taste of snail puke, subsequent hatching inside the brain of the ant which then drives the ant insane, forcing it to climb the highest thing on the ground at exactly 5:00 PM, and then gets eaten by animals who just happen to engage in evening grazing, which then changes after passing thru the stomach of a grazing animal who will eat the tops of the plants at grazing time, and then bores thru the intestines into the bloodstream of the host, and then resides in the liver as an adult.

And you think humans are complicated and crazy!

I know my morphology of parasites. I can tell if a calf, goat, or lamb needs parasite treatment just by lifting it's eyelids. An animal free of parasites will have pink eyelid tissue. An animal with a parasite load will exhibit white tissue lining the eyelids bacause the blood is needed by the vital organs because the parasites are consuming too much blood.

Canine and feline tape worms can only exist if fleas are present in the living environment. Did ya know that one?

Do you suffer from parasitic psychosis?

Man, do I EVER!

But I ain't givin' up FR.

No matter what.

I’ll probably take some heat for this...but:

Is this disorder related to Fibromyalgia?

“A good trick to wound management in a hurry is combing cotton fibers into a mat and laying them over the wound with pressure. The blood syrum turns the site into a fiberglass-like patch which stops the bleeding and keeps the wound clean until you can clean it up properly.”

Hey, thanks for that piece of information.

[dljordan]

“They have gross stuff in those places...”

Bot flys. Gross!

[Windflier]

Is this disorder related to Fibromyalgia?

I don't think so. Far from it, actually.

[blackdog]

Bluejeans and a wire brush do just fine.

When I raised goats, they got wormed 4 times a year, each time with a different wormer..One kind took care of blood worms, another just plain worms and I was checking out my kids in the pasture and one had a tape worm hanging out of its behind about 8 inches long...Then had to find a wormer that took care of tape worms....but had to take a shovel and go over about 5 acres of pasture (3 different pastures) and pick up all the tape worms I could find so they didn't reinfect by eating grass near a section of tapeworm...I was surprised that a tape worm looks just like a length of scotchtape but white in color...Then there was the delousing but thank God goat lice are species specific and just fall off humans....Also had a banty rooster with eye worms, 1/2 of his head was larger than the other 1/2. It was a mercy killing....:O) don't know much about calfs but goat and sheep are always carrying a load of some kind of worm...if you don't stay on top of the situation, it effects their shearing wool or mohair.... If you can tell by looking at their eyelids, your good. :O)

I was told by an old sicilian woman (my sisters MIL) that you should never take cobwebs off your ceiling. In case of bleeding, scoop them up and put on area bleeding to stop it...A first aid kit in the corners....true story....GG

We only had one cow and my dad warned me about bot fly maggots...he said to watch for a large bump usually on the back of the cow. If you smash it you will kill the large larve of the bot fly. About the size of of a woman’s thumb. I know when they got bit by horse fly’s it would be so deep the cow would bleed from the bite...with horse’s they lick their back and the bot eggs end up in the stomach...
