According to reports, there are numbers greater than 14,000 families whom are suffering from Morgellons Disease. These families have children and having the skin condition made them deprive from their ideal childhood days. Kids with Morgellons find it difficult to be fully involved and be engaged in recreational activities with friends and colleagues involving sports and leisure activities. Some have even “dropped out of life” or not even attend school because of fatigue, discomforts and trouble with mental concentration. Same goes with adult who are loosing their jobs due to the same condition. Sadly, this figure will continuously grow unless the mystery behind Morgellons is solved.

Morgellons also termed as Unexplained Dermopathy by CDC is a condition involving skin lesions with fibers-like protrusions accompanied by sensations described as crawling, stinging, and biting which occur all through out the body. Other symptoms are chronic fatigue, cognitive impairment, and depression. This condition is associated to Lyme disease, Delusional Parasitosis, Chronic fatigue syndrome, OCD (obsessive compulsion disorder) and ADHD (Attention deficit and Hyperactive disorder) due to its diverse symptoms.

Aside from the dermatologic signs, psychiatric symptoms are also noted such as short term memory loss, depression, concentration deficit, changes in behavior, confusion (brain fog) etc. Patients with Morgellons also manifest chronic fatigue that can affect daily routine, arthritis and change in vision. Diagnosing Morgellons can be considered as a challenging task for health professionals, as this mysterious skin disorder has similar signs and symptoms with a number of disease such as Lyme disease, Delusional Parasitosis, Chronic fatigue syndrome, OCD (obsessive compulsion disorder) and ADHD (Attention deficit and Hyperactive disorder). Physicians and other health care professionals often fall short in identifying this condition, as neurological or psychiatric symptoms make the diagnosing process complicated.

Oftentimes, patients suffering from Morgellons are treated based from what predominant signs and symptoms they manifest. For example, antibiotics are prescribed for Lyme’s disease which could also work with Morgellons but not fully proven to cure Morgellons completely.

Unfortunately, what causes this skin condition is not yet identified by the Centers for Disease Control (CDC) and Morgellons Research Foundation. Although research has been made they failed to gather sufficient data about this condition. However, they found out that Morgellons is contagious and might spread to family members once a member has contracted the disease. Organizations and health institutions are continuously taking action in order to stop this mysterious epidemic.
