I'd rather trust the CDC and the guys who work in the Mayo clinic than some random dude's website.

i see that but you know im relly do not know what you talking about,beginn in a simple way explain from the beginning so that every normal human being understand whats going on,otherwise only some pepole understand all of this.you mix it all together photos,sickness,etc. etc.,90% from all pepole understand only0% im shure.
you will reach the public do it in a simple way!
Nanotech particles have been embraced by industry…Yet, nanomaterials are so poorly understood that scientists are unable to predict how they will behave and are unsure of how to check their safety. Over one thousand consumer products made with nanoparticles…are already on the market, despite a complete lack of knowledge of the dangers they pose to human health and the environment.
According to an article published in the European Respiratory Journal by a group of Chinese researchers headed by Yuguo Song, from the Department of Occupational Medicine and Clinical Toxicology at the Beijing Chaoyang Hospital, seven young female workers fell seriously ill after working in a paint factory that used nanotechnology. The workers suffered severe and permanent lung damage, and face and arm eruptions. Two of them died, while the other five have not improved after several years.
Three types of nanoparticles are of particular concern: nanosilver particles; carbon nanofibers; and “buckyballs,” or microscopic, football-shaped cages of carbon.
This story was not widely reported.
The CDC study looked for patients treated from 2006 to 2008 for any Morgellons symptoms by Kaiser Permanente Northern California. Out of the 3.2 million people enrolled in the program, they identified 115 patients. Another 11 patients who heard of the study offered to participate. In the end, 41 patients had full physical examinations.
Three-fourths of the examined patients had sores on their skin. Half of the lesions were merely sun damage, but 40% showed signs of scratching or irritation, and 16% looked like bug bites or allergic reactions to drugs.
Sixteen of the lesions had materials stuck in them. Most turned out to be cotton fibers, probably from clothing; some were skin fragments likely caused by scratching.
Importantly, normal areas of the patients' skin had nothing wrong with them, suggesting that there was no systemic skin disease.
60% of the patients showed signs of cognitive impairment, and 63% had "somatic complaints," often "incapacitating fatigue."
The patients' level of "functional impairment and disability" was "comparable to that detected among persons who have serious medical illnesses and concurrent psychiatric disorders," Pearson and colleagues note.
People with somatic disorders tend to by hyper-aware of normal body sensations -- and they tend to interpret these sensations as medical illness. This stress has real physical effects on the body and leads to a spiral of worsening physical symptoms and psychological health. Psychotherapy is far more likely to be successful than medication in breaking this cycle.
Patients who are convinced they are infested with parasites often respond to treatment with antidepressant or antipsychotic medication.

Maybe adding to the fact that it is a neurological condition?

The website I linked to in the op is very real, it is from a real victim and researcher and all of the evidence is available for testing through Jan smith.
Actually, I heard about it on ATS about a year ago. And if you are trying to refute a claim, citing 'naturalnews.com' is an extremely poor way to do so; the amount of bias that is present on that website is beyond a joke.
Like I said, the website that the OP provided, doesn't provide reputable citations from legitimate sources. How am I or anyone else supposed to know that what that website is saying is 100% fact and not something some random guy thought up in his spare time?
Lastly, way to take words out of my mouth. I did not call you, or anyone who 'has' Morgellons insane. I said that the most likely explanation is delusional parasitosis
Morgellons is most likely delusional parasitosis. Abuse of crystal methamphetamine amongst other drugs may cause this
I'm a sufferer, please don't say I am either likely insane or a druggie, unless of course, you can prove it to me.

Approximately 10 to 20% of patients treated for Lyme disease with a recommended 2-4 week course of antibiotics will have lingering symptoms of fatigue, pain, or joint and muscle aches1. In some cases, these can last for more than 6 months. Although often called “chronic Lyme disease,” this condition is properly known as “Post-treatment Lyme disease Syndrome” (PTLDS). The exact cause of PTLDS is not yet known. Most medical experts believe that lingering symptoms are due to residual damage to the tissues and the immune system that occurred during the infection. Similar complications and auto-immune responses are known to occur following other infectious diseases. In contrast, a few health care providers tell patients that these symptoms reflect persistent infection with Borrelia burgdorferi. However, there is no credible scientific evidence that PTLDS is caused by persistent infection.
