Increase in Cases of an Unknown and Truly Creepy Disease, page

A disease that has apparently been widely mis-diagnosed as a psychiatric disorder for years is increasing dramatically. The majority of cases seem to be in CA, TX and FL. Cluster areas of this disease have been noted near LA, San Francisco, San Jose and San Diego in California and near Houston, Dallas, Austin, and Round Rock in Texas.

Doctors Puzzled and Alarmed

The disease is known as Morgellon's Disease and exhibits a range of symptoms. The most common symptoms include fibres of unknown origin sticking through the skin and the presence of fibrous 'fuzzballs' and seed-like granules under the skin and in lesions. Patients describe pain associated with a 'crawling' sensation and itching and biting which they feel are insects crawling under their skin. The common nature of this particular symptom is what has caused many patients to be misdiagnosed as suffering from Delusional Parasitosis.

The disease causes serious neurogolical problems including fatigue, loss of memory, reduced cognitive functions and the like. The pain is intense and has led some patients to suicide.

Very scary. The fibres are not believed to be environmental and have been tentatively identified as some sort of cellulose. They are most often white but also commonly appear as black, red and blue. They self-fluoresce under the appropriate lighting.

With the resurgence of previously eliminated diseases and the advent of new diseases such as this, one has to wonder how much weaponization of biologicals has to do with it all.

Anyone who has ever read Ken Alibek's book on Soviet Cold War research in biological warfare would not be surprised by this sort of thing. Post-Cold War Russia's bio plants were practically abandoned or changed hands during the break-up of the country.

Leslie Stahl of "60 Minutes" did a report several years ago on a lab in the Ukraine. While they were touring the ruins they came across an old refrigerator. Keep in mind that this plant was abandoned and there was no security in place. That refrigerator still contained highly dangerous biologicals including weaponized anthrax.

Personally, I expect to see a great deal more of this sort of thing.

I find this very interesting. Anytime a new disease pops up, I want to know everything about it, I think that's called "medical student syndrome", hehe. Anyways, I did a search in my university's database, and we actually had a few studies about it in there. Of course, they were in Italian and wouldn't help here, but I found a few links in English, too. It turns out, some nurse has linked this disease to patients with chronic Lyme disease, which knocks your immune system down a bit and makes you more vulnerable to rare diseases, much like AIDS patients developing candidiasis.

This idea was also confirmed in San Francisco.

So, in short, don't fret unless you are immunocompromised, hehe.
