From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
"Morgellons" or "Morgellons disease" is a controversial name that has been given to a speculated and equally controversial medical condition. Currently, there is no known etiology or treatment, and the diagnostic criteria has not yet been formally established. Patients who claim to have the disease describe the polysymptomatic syndrome as primarily characterized by skin lesions and the appearance of fibers and granules coming out of the skin. Most dermatologists deny that the disease exists however, formal research is needed to make a conclusive determination. In June 2006, The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention began a full investigation into Morgellon.
