How can something that shows up as colored monofilament-like threads growing on and under a person’s skin possibly be without a cause. The CDC’s response does not meet the reasonableness test. There is something they (i.e., the weasels at the CDC) are hiding. (This sounds like some research project to modify bacteria to grow plastics went horribly wrong. Pure speculation.)
The article said that the fibers were tested and found to be cotton or nylon.
There are some mysterious diseases out there, some that have come and gone, like sweating sickness.
Out of curiosity, does either of you of Morgellons? With the fibers?
Hard to tell what it is but most of the stories seem to point to contracting it somewhere so it has to be contagious? That is scary.
Morgellons in my opinion is either one of three things from all the things I have read/heard about it.
1. A fungus like infection where the fibers are actually Hyphae that the fungal infection is growing under the skin.
2. (far Fetched) A retro-virus that was originally designed to introduce new genes into things like Goats to produce fibers like silk but jumped species and has modified epithlal cells in people into producing silk like fibers.
3. (admittedly farfetched) A nano-machine that was introduced into nature that can self replicate that behaves like a microorganism that was designed to produce silk like fibres and when a person gets infected it gets enough resources to replicate and start producing fibers.
I am betting on fungus (due to accounts of people catching it after workign in dirt) , but who knows it could be a product of careless genetic engineering or nano tech.
