Morgellons: The 'Craziest' Disease You've Never Heard of In 2012 the journal PLOS (https://bit.ly/3xQoQJW) One published the results of a CDC / KAISER STUDY (Kaiser Permanente is a California health insurance company) four years in the making (Clinical, Epidemiologic, Histopathologic and Molecular Features of an Unexplained Dermopathy). Instead of the vindication those being tortured by Morgellons were eagerly hoping/praying for, they were instead slapped in the face. Again. Here are the cherry-picked conclusions from the CDC….. We identified 115 case-patients. The prevalence was 3.65 cases per 100,000 enrollees. Case-patients had a median age of 52 years (range: 17–93) and were primarily female (77%) and Caucasian (77%). Multi-system complaints were common; 70% reported chronic fatigue and 54% rated their overall health as fair or poor…. Cognitive deficits were detected in 59% of case-patients and 63% had evidence of clinically significant somatic complaints; 50% had drugs detected in hair samples and 78% reported exposure to solvents. Skin lesions were most consistent with arthropod [bug] bites or chronic excoriations [scratching/picking]. No parasites or mycobacteria were detected. Most materials collected from participants skin were composed of cellulose, likely of cotton origin. This unexplained dermopathy was… associated with significantly reduced health-related quality of life. No common underlying medical condition or infectious source was identified, similar to more commonly recognized conditions such as delusional infestation. So, according to ‘experts,’ who had access to almost unlimited facilities and data, the CDC (with the help of industry) labeled those with Morgellons as 'delusional'. This is not at all surprising considering that the name most associated with the condition, other than DELUSIONAL INFESTATION, is psychotic parisitosis (aka Eckbom Syndrome). In other words, nothing changed for those suffering from Morgellon. They would continue to be labeled as crazy. And they would continue to suffer.
