The label of “delusional parasitosis” is an attempt by the AMA to shut the door on further research into this strange condition. The fibers that extrude from the skin of these victims is a mystery that requires more research.

That simply isn't true. The label of “Morgellans syndrome” was made up by a woman (with no medical/psychological training of any type) who objected to being called delusional. Instead of seeking the psychological help she needed she made up a name for her nonexistent disease and created a online support group. Getting a group of delusional people together doesn't suddenly make all of their hypochondria real.
