I learned that there are really a lot more morgellons sufferers than stated in my last post. The Morgellons Research Foundation, MRF, states the number of morgellon patients as “over 10’000 families”, involving multiple family members, and this only in the states.
Morgellons Misunderstood as Mental Illness
Due to the symptoms of morgellons disease (stinging and crawling sensations) the illness is often misdiagnosed by physicians as “delusional parasitosis”. This is a psychiatric manifestation making the patient think he’s infested with parasites.
They Call It Unexplained Dermopathy
While suffering from severe skin rashes, sores, strange skin sensations and fibers emerging from the skin, the patients are being told they crazy or to have an “Unexplained Dermopathy” (this is the name given to the illness by the US Centers of Disease Control and Prevention).
