It sounds like a condition ripped from the pages of science fiction. Mysterious threads or fibres breaking through the skin or the sensation of insects crawling under it. Sores that won’t heal. Impaired concentration and short-term memory loss.But over the past few years several thousand people in the United States, Canada, Australia and Europe apparently have suffered from this puzzling constellation of ailments, which has come to be known as Morgellons Syndrome or just plain Morgellons.
The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention announced today that it is launching a study to learn about an unexplained condition that causes people to feel as if they have foreign substances growing from their bodies.
“We earnestly want to learn more about this unexplained illness, which affects the lives of those who suffer from it,” said Dr. Michele Pearson, principal investigator leading the study for the CDC, in a press release. “Those who suffer have questions, and we want to help them.”
“We have a team of epidemiologists, laboratorians and pathologists to carry out the study,” Pearson said.
The study will be conducted in conjunction with Kaiser Permanente’s Northern California Division of Research. For more information, CLICK HERE to visit the CDC’s Unexplained Dermopathy Web site.

I truly believe after reviewing many websites and watching videos of these parasites, if indeed that is what they are, are very real. How can MD not be concerned and write off patients with this devastating desease without feeling compassion and trying to do everything they can to help them. Telling them they are crazy is not a good approach in doing so,
Cette “maladie” est bien horrible.On pourrait même penser qu’elle a été crée pour faire souffrir tant physiquement que mentalement.
Mon épouse en souffre depuis 5 ans et cela fait 1 an et demi que j’ai découvert son ampleur en cherchant sur le web .Depuis fin août la santé mentale de mon épouse c’est complétement “modifiée”.
Cela pourrait etre de la schizophrénie mais cela n’en est pas!
Cette maladie nous perturbent considérablement.
Nous partons prochainement en Inde y chercher des soins.Nous éspérons que la médecine ayuverdique pourra la soulager et la guérir.
Mes meilleures pensées à tous ceux qui en souffrent.
