I have seen this story three times in the last week from different sources. It seems to me these fibers and scabs are tangible. Is it possible that all thse people are experiencing the same delusions? What an odd story..
I should think that a forensic analysis of the fibers that come out of the body would settle the question once and for all. Why hasn't anybody done that?
Agreed, weird stuff..

Thank you for not being another naysayer, Cardinal. :-)
While anything is possible in the realm of mass hysteria, delusion, mental illness, suggestibility, mass hypnosis, it's unlikely that European folks in the 1600s could have been influenced by these recent stories.

Fortunately Randy S. Wymore, Ph.D., associate Professor at Oklahoma State University Center for Health Sciences is doing current research on Morgellons disease .
Yeah, but no one has presented a cellular analysis of the so called fibers. If they were made at Dupont...that says one thing and if they are made of human or some other kind of organic living organism...that says something else.
That would provide a simple answer...and clear it up once and for all.
Thanks Jenny. I posted research and more information on Morgellons disease here #28, here #40, here #63, and here #68 .
Some have and some are but you'll have to read the referenced articles to see for yourself. :-)
What?!?!?!? I'm the first?!?!?! It's ALL BUSH's FAULT!! DO YOU HEAR ME?!?!?
Couldn't they analyze the fibers and see what they are? I mean, they can mass spec everything else and tell you exactly what the components are.
He really needs to be more specific. Are they cotton, nylon, polyester, etc.? No bacteria nor a human body is going to start creating an foreign molecular structure.
An MD would jump at the chance to identify a new strange disease that would do as described. Name in annals of medicine forever!
I am skeptical of all this.
You have been very fortunate in your experience of doctors. I almost never go, in part due to a couple of strange ones that I encountered many years ago. I had a high school physiology class and learned terminology for body parts and functions. When a doctor asked me about previous injuries I got specific in my answer. The doc asked me acidly if I had been to med school and refused to accept anything I said about anything after that.
