To the question, "What is Known of Morgellons" the only possible answer is:
"Not Much"

MORGELLONS...WHAT WE DO AND DON'T KNOW ABOUT THE FIBER DISEASE!
-By CliffMickelson
Section Five...The Callus:
***
It should be clearly stated that among the few certainties extant about Morgellons that are absolutely provable is that there exists a nematode-like life form who's role is central to the affliction.
This fact can be irrefutably summoned into any court of evidence. The worm is a changeling. It is but one of several incarnations documented as complicit actors in a tragi-drama intent on opening to ever-wider numbers of audiences around the world.
As each successful actor has his own unique foil, so too does this peculiar creature have a proprietary shield.
This shield is what we know as the "callus."
Masked behind the security of an artificially manufactured "callus" the Morgellon's nematomorphic worm is master of the host's corporal stage. Hence it remains free to summon forth all the allied sounds of its diseased fury. And ... at curtain fall, it will leave in its wake only the grist of ruined lives and shattered dreams as evidentiary grounds for judgment by its unhappy audience of unwilling reviewers.
It is the organism's creation and composition of the callus and the nematomorph method of utilizing and dermo-forming the callus that begs understanding. To do so is to take the first step on the path that hold a promise of gaining the offensive and of an eventual cure.
My recent research indicates that the callus is more a product of the creature than a reaction of the host. This is more important of a distinction that it may at first appear. The callus, although it mimics skin to a phenomenal degree is, (IMO) NOT skin, or is at best a mixture of plasma and other body fluids chemically transformed by a specialized secretion of the nematomorph.
We know that the finished product is anchored with a tenacity that defies normal convention.
The callus usually makes its debut as a thick clear semi-sticky fluid extruded directly from the endodermis regions. Its consistency is comparable to a clear corn syrup. It has a drying time measured in minutes and at times in seconds. As a result, it is not uncommon for it to escape initial notice.
(This liquid also has other proto-funtions more apropos to other chapters)
The above described secretion is the cement from which the organism builds its callused fortress. It serves the creature well in both a defensive and offensive capacity. As the callus forms and hardens the adult nematomorph often integrates itself into it.
The secretion is also utilized to wash away the caustic effect of chemical attack and to reestablish its dominion within a perimeter where it may have suffered reverses due to enzyme attack or even cases of zealous tweezer tenacity.
More significantly, upwellings of this liquid are also found in previously uninfected areas of the host's body immediately prior to new or expanding colonization.
When left to pursue its natural course, the callus often exhibits a number of "flaps" or skinlike flakes extruding from its edge. When this leading or extruding flap is successfully grasped by tweezers and removed without the aid of being softened by enzyme action or 91% alcohol saturation, It tends to take its leave from the host body in the form of strips that are skin-like in appearance and are generally longer than they are wide.
As the strip is removed it will often appear to rip through the adjoining and/or connected callused areas much like a string through a bag of dog food.
Pain however, is usually minimal along the horizontal length being removed. It is only sharp at the point where the far end section of the nematomorph may be accessing the blood of the host.
The removed section of callus exhibits one interesting characteristic well worth noting. It, as well as any other removable sections in the immediate vicinity, will Always only be completely removable in the same direction!
Once that direction is determined, the targeted strips of callus must always be peeled backwards against themselves. They cannot be entirely removed in any other manner or direction and will only break off if contrary removal is attempted.
As stated previously, this may be due to the fact that at there are nematomorphic forms that have physically embedded themselves within the matrix of the callus liquid prior to complete hardening. This tends to form lines of fracture that appear as strips whose borders are defined by a mutual point where other embedded objects are encountered or meshed with.
One additional result of this embedding is that each "strip" of callus has great tensile strength in a horizontal or linear direction. The strength is directly proportional to its length. It is more evident for older and longer embedded creatures and less for younger and therefore shorter ones.
The entire callus is further secured on the underside, (or skin side) not only by the super glue effect of the secretions of the creature, but also by dozens of protuberances that are somehow created as the callus forms and that appear to serve in the capacity of anchors. These "podia"give the undercarriage of the callus an appearance similar to that of the exoskeleton of a millipede or similar creature
(Note)
It is the "peeled back against itself" motion of callus removal that best enables the curved scimitar shaped podia to release their formidable hold on the flesh of the host.
Discerning observers will also note that there are often numbers of small nematomorph forms to be found among these podia.
To sum up: It is my contention to date that the callus is composed not only of the extruded secretion alone, but also that the adult worm is fond of encasing itself in this matrix.
Once embedded, it will remain fixed along its entire length with only a small flap of material protruding from just under the top leading edge of the callus. From these many points along the perimeter, the callus will often grow. These are the allegorical gates of the city. It is from here that one of the methods of creeping expansion are accomplished by the aid of further secretion by the creature as it grows and moves outwards in a horizontal manner semicircular manner.
SECTION 6 ACTIVITY WITHIN THE CALLUS
New or juvenile forms found entering the above described callus life stage can be removed embedded in commensurately tiny strips of callus. Interestingly, and to the best of my knowledge, there appears to be no predetermined limit to the length that they may eventually attain.
I have removed such strips that have exceeded an inch or more and many new or small ones of less than a 1/32 of an inch. These strips tend to be very flat and almost "dry" at the leading edge, but much more moist at the end farthest from the leading edge of the callus.
A great majority of these objects that are not completely integrated together in a common secretion with others of their kind will exhibit two horn-like projections on the outer or forward leading edge. These "horns" give the removed object a look resembling a flatworm or fluke with the antennae of a slug or snail. (hence the original designation of "fluke form)
It is these extrusions or prior mentioned flaps that can be grasped by tweezers if one is quick enough. They will often slightly extend beyond the edge of the advancing, (growing) callus or lesion and will noticeably extend themselves even further when stimulated by outside pressure slightly behind their location.
The pressure required to achieve this end is that which occurs when the callus is repeatedly and lightly stroked or rubbed with any foreign object.
Should one attempt to seize this flap but then miss in the attempt, the extrusion will likely retract or curl back under the callus with impressive speed.
The far end of this form, when successfully removed, is anchored in the flesh of the host. It is at this point that the creature is accessing the blood stream. Following successful removal, it is at this point that the host will often bleed profusely. However, such a flow often suddenly stops as suddenly as it begins.
I suspect that this may be due to the fact that the blood is substantially thinned and "pooled" in this location and is serving as a reservoir for feeding reasons and/or larval nursery purposes.
The exiting blood can usually be seen to contain a number of amorphous fleshy objects that will manifest themselves in the flow. These are larvae. If this blood contaminates surrounding uninfected areas the infection is vectored and a new callus will begin to form within an exceptionally short period of time.
In advanced infections these calluses are highly overlaid in a scalelike manner, overlapping one upon the other in great number.
This trait greatly complicates eradication.
Individually the parasites and their shields can be seen as tiny white spots against the skin.
It is often necessary to rub or otherwise irritate the skin in order to highlight parasites at this level of development.
Collectively as the creatures mature, (grow) they merge to form large callused areas. This is due to the fact that when left undisturbed these individual parasites tend to grow in a slightly radial and forward manner. They soon connect with adjoining formations and eventually the mass assumes the appearance of a noticeable callus or they simply appear to the observer as would thickened, aged skin. The latter appearance is an indicator of young callus or (Newly colonized) regions.
No known limit has yet been established as to the attainable proportions of the size of a colony of embedded nematomorphic forms. In fact, there appears to be no arbitrary natural check to just how much or how wide an area of the host's skin surface this sheath of creatures can extend its colonizing activity.
The only difference between a callus and a lesion can be considered one of seniority with the lesion having precedence. A further definition would be that the callus is an enclosed wounding of the host while the lesion is an open wound that, due to suspected but yet to be identified abilities of the parasite, heals poorly, if at all.

Neuro-cutaneous Syndrome (NCS): A New Disorder
© Copyright 2001 by Dr. Omar M. Amin, USA
(Explore Issue: Volume 10, Number 2)
Abstract
A new neuro-cutaneous syndrome (NCS) is described. It is characterized by neurological sensation of movement subcutaneously and/or in deeper tissues and cavities that is usually associated with mucoid cutaneous lesions from which one or more species of arthropods as well as unidentified fibers may be recovered.
Introduction
This presentation is introductory in nature and is intended only to bring attention to a new disease entity that has not been previously reported. Attention is drawn herein to general manifestations of the initial pathology in a number of cases. No discussion of medical history, treatments, or outcome will be attempted at this time since most cases have not been satisfactorily resolved. These aspects will be discussed at a later date on a case by case basis as further progress allows and as more detailed information becomes available.
Results and Discussion
The neurological aspects of NCS are characterized by movement sensations of what patients commonly describe as "parasites" subcutaneously and/or in various body tissues and sinuses particularly in the head. In the latter case, movement sensations is either unipolar or bipolar and may proceed horizontally (from one side of the head to the other) or vertically into the neck, chest, or abdomen as well occasionally in the arms or legs. Movement sensations also occur subcutaneously in the head, body, or limbs that occasionally manifest as variably shaped bruises or waves of elevated ripples as personally observed by myself on the arm of JM (a patient).
(Fig. 1. Two receding lesions on the face of JM (1999), a young white American female from Colorado who spent time in Jamaica in the early 1990's where she had many insect bites and skin abrasions shortly before first appearance of symptoms. )
(Fig. 2. Lesions on the face of MM, a 40 year old white American female from California who had intimate exposure to a boyfriend and pets, among other exposures, with identical symptoms in 1995 just before onset of symptoms.)
The cutaneous aspects of NCS present in most cases experiencing the neurological aspects of the disorder. They usually present as open mucoid lesions that often grow and spread (Figs. 1-3), with fungal involvement. It is not known whether the fungal infections, when present, represent a causal factor in the lesion formation or secondary superimposed infection. Those patients are usually not immune compromised and have no intestinal parasites to which the cutaneous symptoms may have been a reaction. A common experience shared by most patients involve having puncture wounds, arthropod bites, or skin abrasions in a warm, moist, and moldy environment shortly before onset of symptoms.
Skin lesions are sometimes associated with arthropod infestation which may represent secondary arthropod invasion attracted to already existing lesions that may be releasing fungal metabolites. Amin (1996) reported the recovery of a tick nymph, an oribated mite, and the following insects: ant, caterpillar, immature thrips, adult hymenopteran, cranefly parts, and other insect parts from facial lesions of SP (a patient) in 1994 and 1995. SP is a well nourished 185lbs, white American female born in 1936 who had a lengthy travel experience in Dubai, India, Malaysia, Bangkok, and Singapore. She moved into a moldy old home in an Oklahoma wooded rural area 3 miles from a toxic waste dump in April, 1991. She admitted to having had frequent facial contact with cats and tick bite(s) before onset of symptoms in August, 1991.
Scalp lesions also occur in patients with neurological symptoms and are usually associated with arthropod infestation. JH (a tall, healthy, well-nourished, middle aged white American female from Arizona) had a number of such lesions (Fig. 4) from which springtails (Collembola: Insecta: Arthropoda) (Fig. 5) were collected by myself in December, 1995. There is only two other published reports of springtails from humans (Hunter et al., 1960; Scott et al., 1962).
Unidentifiable filaments (non textile fibers) (Fig. 6) have also been associated with lesions in a number of patients. The nature and significance of this relationship is not clear at this time. Only Amin (1996) noted that the healing of SP's lesions was "proportional to the exit of remaining fibers from lesions." EL (a young white unhealthy male from Florida) died from NCS which involved many such fibers (Fig. 6) and fungal spores from his skin lesions in 1995.
As briefly indicated in the introduction, information regarding medical history, additional symptoms, allopathic-herbal-light frequency generation treatment protocols, and resolution will be discussed in detail for each case separately in later publications. The National Pediculosis Association (NPA), Newton, Massachusetts retains a registry, and other relevant information, of most patients from the USA. I would like to invite any contributions that may help shed more light on this disorder.

Anyone gonna Holiday at Plum Island this year?
No reason to travel that far. I heard they deliver now,like Domino's. On a more serious note here's some of what's going on ,..........
Hi to everyone,
The Morgellons Research Foundation is continuing to dialogue with the
Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), as well as with
several state health departments who have begun to investigate
Morgellons disease.
Major news coverage of Morgellons disease will take place in January
and February, 2006. These media events will be much more significant
than any events which have taken place to date. If you live in
California, Georgia, or New York, and would like to be interviewed
about your experience with this disease in terms of how it has affected
your life, please respond to this email. Put this as the subject
line, " CA interview", "GA interview", or "NY interview". Please give
your name, city, state and telephone number(s), as well as a paragraph
describing your health situation. We are asking for your help
informing our nation about this epidemic, by speaking out publicly
about your illness.
Charles Holman, the chairman of our board of directors, his wife Cindy
Casey, RN, and others affilated with this foundation, distributed
literature to nurses at the recent American Association of Critical-
Care Nurses (AACN) symposium in San Francisco. The nurses attending
were very receptive to this information, and one nurse reported having
a child with symptoms of Morgellons disease. Ginger Savely, FNP, who
is currently treating over 50 patients with this disease, presented
information on Morgellons Disease at the recent IL:ADS conference in
Philaldelpia. Again, the information presented to the physicians and
others in the audience of over 250 attendees, was warmly and
respectfully, received.
Please see the case defintion of Morgellons disease at page bottom.
This definition was recently developed by physicians on the
foundation's medical advisory board. This defintion, which was sent to
the CDC, will also be placed on our website. We will keep you posted
when we learn of any government action to address this urgent public
health crisis.
Please see Dr, Wymore's update, below. Dr. Wymore has been discussing
this issue with many researchers, who are interested in working with
him to help solve this medical mystery. Please realize that all of us
are unpaid volunteers, who are as frustrated as you are. Please also
know that we are more dedicated to this cause than you will ever know.
Happy Holiday season to all!
Love,
Mary

Just a little more. Please see article showing Dr Wymore: " OSU Professor Hunts Cause of
Odd Disease"
http://centernet.okstate.edu/whatsnew/rounds/2005/1005.html
Progress during the past two months has been slowed due to the loss of
the research associate who was assisting in the day-to-day experiments
on the samples from individuals with Morgellons disease. The search
for a replacement scientist is ongoing and the position should be
filled during December. Culturing of bacteria from the submitted
samples has continued and thus far no novel bacteria have been
identified. The culture conditions and media have recently been
expanded to encourage the growth of bacteria that might not grow under
the previously tried conditions. Spectroscopy of the fibers is
continuing The biochemist who is performing these analyses will notify
the Morgellons Research Foundation when the data collection is
completed and the testing has been repeated. At that time an update
will be provided to describe the results of the fiber composition
experiments. Since the last update, submitted samples have been
received that included: scabs, loose fibers, matted masses of fibers,
blood, dried skin, flecks, nasal and bronchial secretions and specimens
that are do not fit into any easily described category. These samples
have come from locations in: California, Washington, Texas, Oklahoma,
Georgia, Minnesota, Pennsylvania and a few unidentified locations.
Some of these samples have already been examined and others have been
stored in refrigerators or freezers for future use. An informational,
research seminar was given at the Oklahoma State University, Center for
Health Sciences on November 18, 2005. This seminar has led to
productive discussions regarding future research objectives into the
cause of Morgellons Disease. Participants in these discussions have
included: physicians, nurses, immunologists, microbiologists,
biochemists, pharmacologists, psychologists, histologists,
neurobiologists, parasitologists and physiologists. In the near-term,
a look into the possibility of blood-based pathogens will be continued
and expanded. Goals for this winter will include a proposal for
collection of samples directly from Morgellons sufferers, in a
controlled clinical setting, for formal analysis.

Subject: DRAFT CASE DEFINITION: MORGELLONS DISEASE
Submitted by: Morgellons Research Foundation to the Centers for Disease
Control and Prevention (CDC).
December 1, 2005
The following case defintion of Morgellons disease has been developed
by physicians on the medical advisory board of the Morgellons Research
Foundation. Please be aware that this case defintion is a preliminary
document, which has been sent to the Centers for Disease Control and
Prevention (CDC). This document is not intended to be complete or
static, and will be refined as further information becomes available
and as physicians on the medical advisory board of the Morgellons
Research Foundation deem necessary.
1. Skin lesions, both spontaneously appearing and self-generated, with
intense itching. The former may initially appear as “urticarial-like”,
or as “pimple-like” with or without a white center. The latter appear
as linear or “picking” excoriations. Even when not self-generated,
lesions often progress to open wounds that heal abnormally and usually
incompletely. (e.g., heal very slowly with discolored epidermis or seal
over with a thick gelatinous outer layer.)
2. Crawling sensations, both within and on the skin surface. Often
conceptualized as “bugs moving, stinging or biting” intermittently.
Besides the general dermis, may also involve the scalp, nares, ear
canal, and body hair. The sensations are at times related to the
presence of easily seen insects, arthropods, and other human and non-
human associated parasites that require serious attention from the
observing clinician.
3. Fatigue significant enough to interfere with ADL.
4. Cognitive difficulties, including measurable short term memory and
attention deficit, as well as difficulty processing thoughts correctly.
Described by patients as "brain fog".
5. Behavioral effects are common to a many patients. Many have been or
will be diagnosed as ADD, ADHD, bipolar, or OCD. A minority do not
show this pattern. Almost all, if previously seen by well-read
physicians without prolonged observation, will have been labeled
as “Delusional Parasitosis”. Temporal relationship to skin lesion onset
is not known.
6. “Fibers” are reported in and on skin lesions. They are generally
reported as white, but clinicians also report seeing blue, green, red,
and black fibers, and fluoresce when viewed under ultraviolet light
(Wood's lamp). Objects described as “granules”, similar in size and
shape to sand grains, can occasionally be removed from either broken or
intact skin by physicians, but are commonly reported by patients.
Patients report seeing black “specks” or “dots” on or in their skin, as
well as unusual 1-3 mm “fuzzballs” both in their lesions and on (or
falling from) intact skin.
OTHER COMMONLY REPORTED SYMPTOMS AND SIGNS
1. Change in visual acuity.
2. Numerous neurological findings. A variety of neurological symptoms
have been reported. Some patients have been diagnosed with ALS, MS, and
other well-known and recognized disorders, while others display
significant symptoms not falling into any well-defined neurological
category.
3. Gastrointestinal symptoms, which may include dyspepsia,
gastroesophageal reflux, and/or changes in bowel habits often similar
to IBS.
4. Neuropsychiatric symptoms and signs, ranging from mood or
personality changes to diagnosed disorders including ADHD, bipolar
disorder, OCD and occasionally frank psychosis. Temporal relationship
to skin lesion onset is not known
5. Acute changes in skin texture and pigment. The skin is variously
thickened and thinned, with an irregular texture and irregular
hyperpigmentation pattern. The changes resemble age associated sun-
exposure skin damage, but typically appear acutely
6. Skin examination often reveals excoriated and/or crusted lesions
which, on examination with lighted magnification, are seen to have
inclusions of variously colored (white, blue, black, or red) fibers.
Skin examination may also reveal multiple hyper-pigmented macules, and
an increase of what appears to be villous hair on arms and face.
7. Fibromyalgia (Myalgic Encephalopathy) has been diagnosed in a
significant percentage of this patient population.
OTHER COMMONLY REPORTED OBSERVATIONS
1. Most patients will have sought care from multiple medical care
providers. A large number will have been diagnosed with Delusional
Parasitosis likely because of the juxtaposition of unexplained skin
lesions and sensations and psychiatric overlay. Unfortunately, almost
none will have received an appropriate diagnostic physical examination
(particularly a microscopic or biopsy examination of lesions), but will
have been diagnosed by history alone with grossly incomplete
observation.
2. Most of these patients feel abandoned by the traditional medical
care system and have sought alternative care providers or have self
medicated, seriously compounding an already difficult medical situation
LABORATORY AND OTHER DIAGNOSTIC EVALUATION
To date, there have been no formal laboratory or imaging studies done
in this patient group. There are some reasonably consistent clinical
findings, however, that need further examination to corroborate or
refute in controlled studies.

These three areas are going to get some media attention.They started out getting the San Francisco,Ca. Fox news affiliate to do a two part piece on this problem and it has grown from there to many cities accross the country.Nothing out of the "ordinary" going on in Georgia.Unless you look up.

Very interesting information. A nematomorph worm in cotton. I did a little checking around and came up with this.
Cotton Nematodes in Missouri: Your Hidden Enemies
James Allen Wrather and Bobby Phipps
University of Missouri Delta Center
Michael R. Milam
Regional Agronomy Specialist
In 1996, diseases, including nematodes, reduced the U.S. cotton crop by 2,505,287 bales valued at $789.2 million, according to estimates by the Disease Loss Committee of the National Cotton Council. Plant parasitic nematodes alone accounted for an estimated yield loss of 763,066 bales valued at $240.4 million.
What is a nematode?
Nematodes are wormlike animals that are mostly invisible, ranging in size from microscopic to more than 10 feet in length. There are more than 10,000 known species of nematodes. Fortunately, only a limited number cause problems to humans and domesticated plants and animals.
Cotton nematodes in Missouri
In 1989 members of the Cotton Foundation, part of the National Cotton Council, decided that too little was known about cotton nematode problems in the United States. They asked scientists from each cotton-producing state to form a committee and conduct studies, including surveys of cotton fields for nematodes. University of Missouri scientists surveyed for cotton parasitic nematodes in Dunklin, New Madrid, and Pemiscot counties, which produce about 98 percent of Missouri's cotton. They sampled 90 fields in this three-county area. Lance nematodes were found in two fields and reniform nematodes in three, but root-knot nematodes were present in many fields. The percentage of cotton fields where root-knot nematodes were found was 45 percent in Dunklin, 20 percent in New Madrid, and 26 percent in Pemiscot. Fortunately, only a few fields had enough root-knot nematodes to cut yield...
http://muextension.missouri.edu/explore/agguides/crops/g04259.htm
quote:
The nematode I believe is an enteropathogenic biocontrol species which has been genetically modified to be of very small size. The Steinernema riobravis is one genetically modified species used today in the USA for cotton. Many species are used already all over our country as well as the world. The way it works is: agriculturalists (since the late 80s) release millions of these tiny biocontrol worms into the soil of crops (in particular citrus, cotton and corn), into golf course turfs, gardens, etc., etc. to parasitize and kill off other "pest" insects. Unfortunately, there is no guarantee that these nematodes would stop at insects, when warm-blooded hosts may be readily available. (There are absolutely NO controls by our government regulating either the testing, distribution or application of these creatures!)
The worms each contain a unique type of bacterium (which they themselves are immune to, and this bacteria has been genetically "enhanced" to make them more lethal) and is the deadly element released once the worm invades the larger insect host. The bacterium could explain the bizarre formation of fibers and other amorphisms in the skin of the host. Obviously the clothing or textile (raw cotton or processed cloth) is not being sanitized and getting into garments which are distributed through our country (USA).

Pest control gone haywire it appears.

Perhaps the strangest natural enemy of grasshoppers is the large nematode, Mermis nigrescens, which reaches a length of more than four inches. The adults lay eggs on grasses and other plants on which grasshoppers feed. If these eggs are eaten, the nematodes develop within the grasshopper, sterilizing and prematurely killing it.

A parasitic worm that makes the grasshopper it invades jump into water and commit suicide does so by chemically influencing its brain, a study of the insects’ proteins reveal.
The parasitic Nematomorph hairworm (Spinochordodes tellinii) develops inside land-dwelling grasshoppers and crickets until the time comes for the worm to transform into an aquatic adult. Somehow mature hairworms brainwash their hosts into behaving in way they never usually would – causing them to seek out and plunge into water.
Once in the water the mature hairworms – which are three to four times longer that their hosts when extended – emerge and swim away to find a mate, leaving their host dead or dying in the water. David Biron, one of the study team at IRD in Montpellier, France, notes that other parasites can also manipulate their hosts’ behaviour: “’Enslaver’ fungi make their insect hosts die perched in a position that favours the dispersal of spores by the wind, for example.”
But the “mechanisms underlying this intriguing parasitic strategy remain poorly understood, generally”, he says.
Now Biron and his colleagues have shown that the worm brainwashes the grasshopper by producing proteins which directly and indirectly affect the grasshopper’s central nervous system.

Besides the skin symptoms commonly experienced by people with this disease, an extremely high percentage of our members report the following: Chronic Fatigue Syndrome (CFS), Fibromyalgia (Myalgic Encephalopathy or ME), "brain fog" or cognitive decline, ADHD, mood disorders (primarily Bipolar Disorder and depression), joint swelling and pain, rapid visual and neurological decline, autoimmune disease, and hair loss. Many of these common additional symptoms appear to be related to inflammation.

I was googling the net for these tiny white insect like things that have been coming and going for the last year. When i found this topic my heart stopped.
This is pretty much exactly what i have been experiencing and been trying to tell people about, to no avail. I hope this topic is still active and someone is going to read this because I need to confirm my suspicions. I had went to my family doctor (spends more time travelling than practicing) with the concerns of a parasitic infection. From the get go she acted as if i was crazy. But she did send out a blood sample and apparently "checked for everything" and turned up nil.
Figure 5 is what i see "flying" around me and hitting me (with a twitch sensation). majorly on the head and in my ears. I cant remember the last time i had a day with no unexplained hair movements. I have also had much experience with the skin flaps and have retrieved some to catch under microscope. I have dozens of tape strips with various "organisms" or unexplained objects taken from my skin. Recently there has been alot of action near my eyes at the outer points, feelings like something is going into the side of my eye, as well as nose. My nose will plug up for no reason after a short period of time, and always blowing out the same result. I also had what seems to have been a swarm of these "springtails" i think, and the sensation was amazing. my whole face felt like it fell asleep and i got the picky tingling feeling which i later realized was thousands of them hitting my face. i was in front of a mirror at the time and could clearly see them buzzing around, landing on the mirror and taking off. I tape stripped the mirror and also microscoped it.
PLEASE EMAIL ME IF YOU HAVE ANY INTEREST OF HELPING ME
