If I were a hypochondriac I’d cry Morgellons. Every time I think or read about the disease, I start itching. I rub my skin and scratch it while watching youtube videos of Morgellons victims.
So it’s come to this: either a large group of women (and increasingly men) are making up a fictional disease and have all gone the same kind of crazy, or there is a new scary hideous disease that make people break out in hives, get rashes and scars, feel bugs crawling inside their skin and- this is the craziest motherfucking part- grow red, black and blue fibers from their skin.
Morgellons has an interesting and controversial history since some doctors claim it doesn’t exist. In fact, so many doctors have written off Morgellons that those who suffer from it are pushed from doctor to doctor, looking for someone who will believe they suffer from a legitimate cause. But like, 12 doctors finally believe these people who have Morgellons, and are finally doing tests. They asked for fiber samples and started getting them by the plastic baggie from all around the country. Surprisingly, they had never seen anything like the chemical make-up of the identical, colorful complex fibers that were mailed to them.
So no one knows how to treat it. Here we are, talking about Morgellons, when I was obsessed with the disease and spent two hours in front of the computer looking at pictures, videos and the Morgellons’ wikipedia page:
- me: omg omg omg look at this shit! i am freaking out! is this real, bryan? it can not be fucking real! it is moving around! omg.
- bryan: that video is awesome. how long is it?
- me: five minutes.
- bryan: someone should make a music video out of it.
- me: omg omg omg it is MOVING. it is coming OUT of her head!
- bryan: are there more of those? can you send me the links?
- me: yeah sure but do you think it’s real? can’t it be fake? like photoshopped or something?
- bryan: this would be a funny internet meme. you know, with lincoln park’s “crawling in my skin” in the background.
- me: hahahaha you’re right, but OMG.
SOOo if you are pulling what look like sweater fuzzies out of your skin, you’re not alone. But if you want Tom Cruise to help you out, tough luck because he doesn’t believe Morgellons exists. JUST LIKE POST-PARTUM!

robertjwhitney says: scary, disgusting, way too gross to be featured.
I say, true on all three counts, but it is true nonetheless.
The disgusting part about all of it is the way the doctors around the world are behaving. They are TRULY scary, disgusting, and way too gross to be mentioned!!
Just so you know, you have only mentioned the outward physical signs of what is currently being called “Morgellons”. There is a multitude of symptoms involved in this plague that is afflicting thousands of people, around the globe.
The CDC did start a formal investigation into the phenomenon in January of this year. They have not as of today released any of their findings.
All of the tissue samples are being sent to the United States Military dept. of Pathology……….

After subsequent research, I would have to agree that further research should be done immediately to determine if this is an actual disease, or a mental affectation.
