The Hamilton Spectator asks is the horrible ‘new’ disease is real or not.
Does morgellons exist? Pressured by thousands of Americans who say they have the mystery disease, the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention said this month it is organizing a committee to find out.“In the absence of any objective review, people have jumped to conclusions and found each other on the Internet and formed their own belief structure,” the CDC’s Dan Rutz told the San Francisco Chronicle. “We really need to debunk this if there isn’t anything to it or identify if there is indeed a new, unrecognized disease that needs attention.”
The nightmarish symptoms include numerous open sores, fibres growing in or on the skin and the feeling of something crawling or biting under the skin.
Dr. Raphael Stricker, a Lyme disease specialist, told the Chronicle he has seen several patients with morgellons symptoms. He and a few other doctors believe morgellons is related to Lyme disease, which is spread by deer ticks.
