Morgellons Story

Morgellons is a condition characterized by a range of cutaneous (skin) symptoms including crawling, biting, and stinging sensations; finding fibers on or under the skin; and persistent skin lesions (e.g., rashes or sores).

The U.S government's Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) states that it is not known at present whether the condition represents a new disease entity, or whether persons who identify themselves as having Morgellons have a common cause for their symptoms, share common risk factors, or are contagious

Most dermatologists regard Morgellons as a manifestation of other known medical conditions, including delusional parasitosis.
