Stuff U Can Use
Are we seeing the emergence of a new disease, that even now, physicians don't belive in? Or is the medical establishment the victims of deluded complainants and hoaxes?
People with fibres growing out of their skin have been trying to get medical help only to be turned away with the condition described as merely psychological issue.
The illness involves disorientation, multi-colored fibers bursting from sores, and the sensation of bugs crawling under the skin. Is this an age-old delusion or a disturbing new disease?
The fibres have been described by physicains are merely clothing fibres, yet analysis has shown them to be totally unknown to the forensic community.
Oklahoma State neuroscientist Randy Wymore stumbled upon Leitao's Morgellons site asked if there were any fiber samples he could look at.
Though the fibers all resembled one another, he says, they looked like no other synthetic or natural fiber he compared them to. Ultimately, he asked the fiber experts on the Tulsa police department's forensics team to examine them.
First they employed a type of spectroscopy that identifies the chemical structures of fibers and compared them to their database of 800 fibers. No match.
Next they subjected fibers to gas chromatography. Compounds put through this process are encased in a vacuum chamber and exposed to high heat; the temperature at which they reach boiling point is a clue to what compound they are made of.

Unfortunately I contracted the skin parasites about which doctors know nothing. I was doing my yearly back yard Spring clean-up when it happened. As I pulled a strangulating vine from a tree I noticed a cloud of dust descending upon me as I dislodged the vine. I disposed of the vine, decided to call it quits for the day, and took a shower thinking no more of the dust cloud. I thought it was simply pollen.
My profession is about managing stress. I had private clients and led workshops and trainings and within a month my life changed to the point that I was on the brink of anxiety panic attack.
Two days later while visiting my mother; my lady friend, Fran, and I began itching all over our bodies. The itching was so intense that we were forced to immediately left for home. Not knowing what to do, we decided to take hot baths as a first step which provided relief. But within hours we were both itching again. The next few days were horrendous and confusing as we used everything we could to get rid of them--anti itch creams, Rid, Nix...
