Of course they're not imagining it, it's a psychological disorder. My grandmother had it for a time. In her case it was a reaction to medication. This is just delusional parasitosis masquarading as a new disease.

Perhaps you have confused me with someone else. I did not make the statement claiming that Morgellons disease is a case of patients' imaginations.

It's good to hear that your Grandmother's physician discovered the source of her malady.

Do you have links to an abstract or full text article citing the research where that claim is made?

If so, perhaps you'd better point the researchers in the direction of the Annals of Medical History where the existence of Morgellons disease was discussed in the 1600s on the European continent.
