Doctors puzzled over bizarre infection surfacing in South Texas Web Posted: 05/12/2006 10:51 AM CDT Deborah Knapp KENS 5 Eyewitness News If diseases like AIDS and bird flu scare you, wait until you hear what's next.

Morgellons disease is not yet known to kill, but if you were to get it, you might wish you were dead, as the symptoms are horrible.

Patients get lesions that never heal. "Sometimes little black specks that come out of the lesions and sometimes little fibers," said Stephanie Bailey, Morgellons patient. |
Like something straight out of the X Files.

This article says it all.
No doctor has actually witnessed the symptoms, they've just had patients report them. No blood sample taken from any patient has ever shown any infectious or toxic agent. And every sample of "mysterious" fibre ever tested has come back as being textile fibres. Oh, and there's this... Quote:

Thank you, Gregory.
Now, on to necrotizing fasciitis, my favorite real X-Files disease! |
The medical madre says that it's definitely possible... that it's delusional parasitosis.
