School kids have a psychosomatic rash!

I thought I'd throw this bit of information out for those interested.
Here's the explanation we've all been waiting for...... yeah right!
Mystery Skin Rash And Chemtrails
http://www.rense.com/general20/mys.htm
"Psychosomatic" rash. Can you believe that Jeff, the children in Portland Or. are so screwed up psychologically that they're all having a psychosomatic rash. All the local talking heads are pushing this 'theory'.
Well now.... isn't this a convenient way to side step the issue.... instead of looking for real answers they're going to make the claim that the rash is all in their heads.... yep... these kids are imagining their aliments. Sorry but my feeling of the local talking heads is that they're nothing but a pack of morons.
This next story has a bit more dignity to it at least.... might even be a possible cause. My only question is that if they feel these rashes are linked to computer use, why has it taken this many years for this new rash to appear? And why would school kids be susceptible? They don't sit in front of computer screens all day.
Children's Mystery Rashes
Linked To EMFs?
http://www.rense.com/general20/emfs.htm
From http://noradcorp.com/emfs101.htm
(speaks about electrical hypersensitivity causing rashes)
Symptoms of Electrosensitivity/Electrostress
The environmental illness is sometimes termed electrostress or technostress, electrosensitivity or electric allergy. Patients may comment on minor, annoying symptoms or they may be severely debilitated.
Read the stories folks... they're real eye openers.. |

Psychosomatic? Yeah right! Funny how kids in the United States and in Europe could all come down with a mysterious rash with the first cases being reported in November of 2001 and have someone come up with such a dumb explanation for it. I ain't buying it for one minute. You've got some real good information here Catnip. Thanks for posting it.

Thanks Catnip! I read about the "psychosomatic rash" yesterday. I can't even believe that they would suggest such a thing. With the rash being in 14 states, that's a hell of a claim.
Very interesting stuff about EMFs and electrosensitivity.  |

This is third thread tonight that I've posted on regarding this subject of the rash outbreak.
I get this persistent perception that this rash outbreak in school children is directly linked to the food chain. These children have many things in common but one thing that is generally in common is that they eat "school lunch" at the school cafeteria. I suspect that if these investigators would start pulling the strings in the area of looking at what all these children have been eating and when that eventually some common denominator would emerge. The rash is probably some GMO (genetically modified organism) generated side effect. Some GM corn, soy, beans potaotes, etc. or some new antibiotic or other unknown being added to livestock feed or the feed source itself being GM and entering the meat and dairy product food chain and then being distributed to schools (in many states) for consumption by the school children.
I also think that if this is discovered (and maybe it already has been) that the actual news will ever make it to mainstream news. TPTB not only control the media they have taken control of our food chain too. - Hoople |

Hopple... that's an interesting theory you've posted..
I would think that perhaps the best way to study if the rash is connected to the school lunches is to find out first if anyone who brings their own lunch from home has come down with the rash. |

Hoople, I really think you are on to something! Especially since the kids' rash went away on the weekend while they were at home. I was thinking that it was probably some kind of mold. I know that there have been alot of mold problems in older schools the last couple of years. But I would imagine that they have ruled that out by now. The food-chain makes the most sense! |

Eyesopen... did they give much information about what was causing the rash? And how they're treating it... I hope you'll keep us informed with any follow up information.
Last night my husband showed me some rather nasty bug bites on his stomach and chest... I thought this was a rather curious thing since a few years back I also got some bites (presumably while sleeping) and then these bites turned into some rather weird patches (not ring worm either) on my skin that I've never seen before. I'm going to watch his bites and see if they follow the same pattern mine did. It's rather strange that I haven't received any bites like his yet. To my knowledge this isn't related to the rash but thought I'd include it here in case anyone else has experienced this recently.

I was just reading about the rash yesterday in the paper. They closed the school and about 40 or so of the 120 kids have it. They believe it is a allergic reaction but do not know from what. They are airing out the school and don't have any answers... |

The Lewiston Sun Journal
Phillips school closed again after more rashes
The Phillips Middle School was closed Friday for the second time this week to undergo a thorough cleaning after more children broke out with mystery rashes on exposed skin Thursday. Health officials have categorized the rashes as contact dermatitis.
About 50 students of the 120 in grades three through eight complained of a red, itchy rash on arms, faces and other exposed skin on Tuesday. No adults reported rashes. The school was closed Wednesday for a thorough airing and cleaning.
Mount Abram Regional Health Center's staff, including a physician, were at the school Thursday to check out those who still had rashes.
About 20 kids still had the rash Thursday, SAD 58 Superintendent Quenten Clark said, and a handful of new cases were reported with some siblings also reporting rashes.
The state recommended the school be shut down again Friday, he said, for more cleaning and to let the rash run its course.
Clark said he has checked with school superintendents from around the country to see what they were doing about the outbreak of mysterious rashes.
The Phillips school is the first in Maine reporting an unexplained rash. Fourteen other states have reported schoolchildren breaking out in rashes since October, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention in Atlanta, Ga.
Clark said the superintendents indicated that the rash disappears within a week.
The rash reported at the Phillips school is not like chicken pox, Clark said; it is much less intense than that and has no pustules.
"What's interesting," he said, "is how fast the rash appears."
Carolyn Tranten, manager of the Kingfield health center, said Friday that health officials at the center have diagnosed the rashes as being caused by contact dermatitis, which means the children's skin has come in contact with an allergen and they came down with a rash.
"We believe there is some allergen in the school, but that has not been confirmed by the state," Tranten said. The state is looking into testing, deputy director of the State Bureau of Health, Dr. Phil Haines, said.
"We still don't know the cause," he said. But health officials don't believe the rash is dangerous, threatening or infectious, he said, but it has not ruled out environmental causes.
The environmental inspector who came to school Wednesday was not available Friday, Haines said.
Clark said the consultant wanted $5,000 before he took his equipment out of his vehicle, and his district does not have that kind of money in its budget. What concerned him, Clark said, is that the state doesn't have a plan to deal with this type of situation. But state authorities maintain they do have a plan and have put it into action.
Clark reaffirmed Friday that SAD 58 would not be paying for the environmental testing. Haines said the state is looking into payment for the testing.
Clark said he had a 100 percent cure rate Thursday with children. He took a group of students itching with the rash and gave them some pizza and put on the video "Shrek," and for 90 minutes no one itched, Clark said.

I don't believe this is related to the school systems. I think children are just more susceptable to the rash. I had the rash around November. My doc and a dermitologist were both puzzled by it and guessed that it was my nerves but I don't think that is likely. My 4 year old nephew who does not attend school or day care and lives in a rural area has it now, as well as two coworkers. It seems to cluster around the elbows and knees on all of us here. And Tulsa schools are having reports of it now but the local media are silent about other states having it.
Has anyone noticed anything unusual about your pets? My cat is pulling its hair out of its back and there are yellow blisters on the bald spots. He has a vet appointment Wednesday but I have a feeling the vet will tell me my cat is just stressed and needs to relax. |

Hmmm... Bob, your information does seem to point to a different cause since you and your preschool nephew aren't in school. But it still appears that it could be a contagious ailment.
I'm curious... what did your doctor give you to get rid of your rash? Almost seems like doctors are hoping for the rash to be caused by nerves since they can't seem to find out the real reason. Did you by chance have any fever or any other symptoms with the rash and also how long did it take to get over it? I don't for a minute believe your cat is suffering from stress either.... unless... maybe there's an increase in electromagnetic waves in your area. I have no idea where to even begin looking for evidence of that.
Well... the bug bites on my husband seem to be just that... and my guess is that he picked them up on his job a few days back since he hasn't had any new bites recently. That's a relief for me...I'm sensitive to enough things already. |

Sorry it took so long to get back Catnip. Unfortunately I don't remember what I was prescribed. Its been awhile and I don't know much about medications. Whatever it was it didn't help. The rash eventually disappeared in about 2 1/2-3 monthes. It wasn't very severe and would virtually be nonexistant for short periods of time. We were getting slammed with CT's at that time. They haven't been that bad lately but the rash is popping up more and more. I know 12 people besides myself who has had it since November. I'm sure there are many more around here who have it but don't want to tell everyone "Hey, I have a rash!". I don't know if this has to do with anything but 'they' had just built one of those towers with the 3 rods on the triangular platform on top and a thick black cable running to the ground right behind my house.
Apparently my cat is allergic to his shampoo.
I hope thats all it is. |
