Probably slightly off Topic.I stumble onto Morgellons quite often when reading about Ticks and the Southern USA.Its said that 95% of Morgellons sufferers test + for Lyme.Well if thats true we can consider ourselves lucky that Morgellons must be one step beyond what we have..i would not fare well having colored fibres coming out of me.It seems to be limited to the extreme south.If anyone knows that it is spreading north please post out of interest. I feel like crap, I ate too much Halloween junk lately!

Didn't take long to find this : Short but informative

It's still not known completely if it's related to Lyme or not. I wouldn't be surprised------ but don't want to go out on a limb at this point.

Dr S in CA treats it, and several cases have been reported here in my state, OR.

In fact, a doctor here had to give up her practice because she was so debilitated by it,.. and her physicians all thought she was nuts (of course they did *sigh*). They did a news report on her here, and actually showed the fibers coming out! Gave me the willies! Same thing on a little boy here, and another guy, a teenage, I think?... seems to me there were at least 3 people though that they showed in the report.

That was a few years back, but it's DEFINITELY on the west coast AND in the NW, Buckron...... don't know about your neck of the woods. I'm with you though, I think I would probably not fair well if it happened to me... I think I'd have a psychotic episode, personally. I really feel for those who are suffering with it. I really can't imagine what that does to you psychologically & emotionally..... It must be just so awful.

If you're talking about the llmd in CA, Ginger Savely was the NP at his office that treated it----- of course, since they were in the same office, I guess it could be considered the llmd.

Its a global disease spread by chemtrails and its there are going to be more people that have this then just lyme in the future. I guarentee it. Its thru areosols, vector born, and can be also contracted from you immediate environment. Silentsuperbug.com is where there is more information listed about this serious threat to human and animal health
