Nominata ufficialmente nel 2002 da Mary Leitao e presentata al Centro di Controllo delle Malattie Infettive come "dermopatia inspiegabile", la sindrome di Morgellons viene da alcuni considerata una nuova patologia, mentre da altri una serie di patologie già note alla scienza medica, ma mal interpretate. Molti dottori, dermatologi e psichiatri considerano però la Morgellons come una malattia che nulla ha a che fare con quelle già note. Tuttavia non esistono ad oggi prove che dimostrino sia che si tratti di una nuova malattia, sia che possa essere considerata un insieme di altri disturbi già noti.

THE ORIGIN OF Morgellons disease
The story of how the phenomenon is born (even the media on the Internet) of Morgellons disease is curious: Mary Leitao, a former biologist who worked as a technician for five years laboratory for several hospitals in Washington in 2001 had been identified as the son of small blisters around the mouth, and complained of a feeling of "bugs" under the skin. By examining the skin samples under the microscope toy son, he realized that there were of the colored fibers within the organ samples. At that point, he decided to bring his son to eight different doctors, but did not find anything abnormal. It also led by Fred Heldrich, known pediatrician at Johns Hopkins is famous for "solve mysterious cases", who did not discover anything abnormal in the skin of the child, adding that Mary Leitao could "benefit from psychological treatment" and suggesting that could be affected by a "sidrome Munchausen by proximity, a psychiatric syndrome in which the parent expects the child to be sick, or makes him sick to get the attention of the medical system." But the husband of Mary, Edward Leitao, agreed with his wife to support his son was suffering from a disease unknown. And here comes the "Morgellons disease", which takes its name from a monograph Thomas Browne in 1690 which describes several medical conditions, including "an endemic condition of children in Languedoc, called Morgellons, in which eruptions occur with stiff hairs on their backs.". That the case reported by Browne is due to modern Morgellons disease is quite controversial, but was chosen (by Leitao) to define the child's illness. Since that time, and the first publication of Leitao on the Internet, the phenomenon of Morgellons disease has seen more and more ill, and has a large audience, composed of supporters of the theory of biological origin, many conspiracy theorists, practitioners and organizations public health.

LA MALATTIA
Ma in cosa consiste questa sindrome di Morgellons? Quali sono i sintomi? Se fosse così facile riconoscerli, sarebbe già stata classificata unanimamente come malattia, ma il problema sta proprio nel fatto che non ci siano sintomi unici, e che generalmente viene auto-diagnosticata dai pazienti sulla base di ciò che leggono su Internet e sentono dai media. Il che non dovrebbe escludere la pista dell' "ipocondria di massa", visto che la maggior parte delle persone che fa auto-diagnosi basandosi sulla Rete non ha nemmeno un minimo di conoscenze mediche, e che sintomi come "effetti cognitivi ed emotivi" risultano un po' troppo facilmente interpreted as less fair as possible. The most frequently reported symptoms for Morgellons is the fiber under the skin, or escaping from it. The Morgellone Research Foundation, founded by the spouses Leitao, also claims that the other symptoms of this disease can be:
- insects have feelings of "moving, stinging or biting" under the skin
- injuries skin, both spontaneous self-inflicted
- effects and musculoskeletal pain in the joints, muscles, tendons and connective tissues
- debilitating fatigue
- cognitive effects and emotional
.
But the problem is that we need evidence objectively valid, and not self-diagnose the same patients. Many dermatologists and psychiatrists claim that Morgellons is nothing but "illusory parasitosis, a psychosis in which the victims believe they are infected with pests, like insects that move under the skin, tingling, or disseminated. Condition that seems to have many aspects in common, if not most, with Morgellons. Patients with illusory parasitosis come to create elaborate rituals for the location and removal of these parasites exist, sometimes even self-mutilation and wounds. Refuse do not see any diagnosis involved parasites in their bodies, and tend to collect fibers and other materials that claim to have extracted from your body.

FIBERS
But what would these fibers? It seems to be visible through a telescope to zoom in 60 patients who claim to be suffering from Morgellons. Others argue that the fibers are present in both healthy and sick individuals. are no match was found in fibers produced artificially, at least not in the analysis carried out during the creation of the Morgellons Research Foundation.Il that does not mean that fibers are not related to anything known, but are not amenable to any records in the database of the police laboratory in Tulsa, Oklahoma, consisting of 90,000 samples. fibers appear to be composed of polyethylene, the most common plastics which are manufactured in plastic bags, electrical insulators, food films and a wide range of commercial products. But unlike the normal polyethylene, which melts between 85 and 140 ° C, these fibers do not melt even at over 900 ° C.

Assumptions about Morgellons
Morgellone The Research Foundation and the medical community involved in the research think we can deal with infection batterica causata da alcuni organismi come il Borrelia burhdorferi, l'agente batterico che causa la malattia di Lyme. Ma non ci sono dati clinici per sostenere questa ipotesi, e le ricerche continuano, focalizzandosi principalmente sul tentativo di scoprire un agente batterico ancora non noto alla scienza. C'è poi la pista ambientale, sostenuta dal'entomologo Richard Fagerlund, secondo la quale questi sintomi, soprattutto la sensazione di avere insetti sotto pelle, siano dovuti alla contaminazione da pesticidi. E c'è infine la pista "cospirazionista", secondo la quale la Morgellons sia il frutto di una delle teorie cospirative più in voga al momento: le scie chimiche. Ho un mio personale parere sulle scie chimiche, based on what little I know on the subject, and I will not get into the discussion if chemtrails are reality or fantasy. But it is not clear, for example, because these chemtrails, we all breathe, their effects have only a very small sample of the population. Another alternative hypothesis speaks of nanotechnology used for purposes not better known. But, again, where are the tests? Where is the incontrovertible evidence of contamination by nanotechnology? Studies have been made, and seem to show that this is something unusual and not attributable to normal biological processes, but from here to say that this is a global conspiracy nanotech there passes. The Morgellons Research Foundation makes no mention of bio-terrorism and global conspiracies. FAQ on the site reads like the evidence would suggest that it is a bacterium not yet recognized by medical science. But what says the Center for Infectious Disease Control, American? The CDC continues to receive reports of Morgellons, and it seems there are no relations between the various cases registered. The CDC is conducting an investigation, but has not yet provided any explanation about the cause of this condition, nor demonstrated that it is an entirely new disease. The investigation is still ongoing, and you can stay up to date here: Unexplained dermopathy (Also Called "Morgellons")
.
conclude this article by saying that I do not take one side or the other. I do not think that there are chemtrails and nanotechnology behind the phenomenon of Morgellons disease, but since I do not know the exact nature of the thing, and I'm not a doctor but just read something interesting that has to write a post on his blog, should not exclude anything from research studies focus on the most likely hypothesis is refuted (or exclude) the explanations for this medical condition. Although some evidence may lead to believe that Morgellons disease is a poorly understood condition and covered with diseases known But you can not ignore the fact that, although self-diagnosed, the disease has 13,000 families registered at the site of the Morgellons Research Foundation, with reports growing trend in the Centre for Infectious Disease Control, American, and that arouses curiosity in a medical environment. Pending results unanimously approved and consistent with each other, we can not do until someone with more experience and medical knowledge of us, doing its job to investigate Morgellons.
