It is said former Oakland A's pitcher Billy Koch and his wife and children have it.

"This disease is what many people feel led to his demise in the major leagues."

about Billy Koch: en.wikipedia.org...

the Chicago Tribune mention it as a matter of fact, altho the following article is not about morgellens itself:

"General manager Ken Williams said he was unaware that former closer Billy Koch, his wife Brandi and three children were suffering from Morgellons disease, a mysterious ailment in which black specks come off skin and victims suffer uncontrollable muscle twitching.

"He really is a good guy, and I feel for him and his family," Williams said of Koch, 31, who pitched for the Sox in 2003 and 2004 but has been out of baseball since last season.

According to Oakland television station KTVU-2, Koch felt symptoms while pitching for the Athletics in 2002."

in truth i am awaiting a poster here to say they have witnessed a friend or relative has this because news is patchy for something i would consider extreme. (not that i would wish it upon anyone's friend or relative, of course!)

"CDC forming Morgellons task force

The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention has launched an investigation into the skin condition called Morgellons disease.

Since a story about Morgellons first aired on KENS 5 Eyewitness News, the station has been inundated with e-mails and phone calls from the medical community and others how claim to have the symptoms described in the story. The story has received tens of thousands of page views on the MySanAntonio.com

The story was how Les Coble of Pleasanton found out he was not alone.
“God, I’m not crazy, there are other people with this,” Coble said."

the thing is, when i go to The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention site, i can't find even a whisper of this 'disease', which doesn't give me confidence it being taken seriously.

I checked with a equine veterinarian as I thought it looked like mange with a secondary flora component... he led me to the barn and showed me some dermal problems in horses and some of his colleague's pigs. Looks similar to the eye especially the hogs... little red and blue and green "fibers" in papules of plasma and heme with not much evidence of white cells or immune response. On a tissue slide it looks very similar to the Morgellon pics. He says the hogs have a hemolitic urticaria-like condition


Wow V that is really interesting! It makes me wonder if somewhere along the line that when we eat animals that somehow we aren't ingesting parasites or the like especially in under cooked food. We all know this can happen.

Lazarus - you elude to a conspiracy. My question would be what then is the common denominator? Why 3 states? Why only a few thousands cases?
I think if we are going hunting then we need to find the common denominator.

Is it in the food? Water? Was there some sort of contamination? Something along those lines. It doesn't appear to be contagious. So then why does an entire family get the disease and others are random cases?

Lyme disease seems to date be the only factor to these cases. But is it in every case or are those immune impaired in danger too?

This is all very thought provoking. But I do not believe that these people are part of a marketing ploy. I believe these folks are desparate in hopes of finding a cure and finally peace.
My heart goes out to each of them. I could not imagine my 3 yr old child becoming victim to this horrible condition.
