The Morgellons Fibre Disease

The mysterious Morgellons Fibre Disease might be an example of a mutation that should have never happened, but is now a worldwide tragedy (See world map) and might be the beginning of a whole new trend. The disease presents us with the strange case of a bacterial mutation with a simultaneous parasite mutation, their symbiotic linkup, and the production of filaments and gels in the body that are not biological in nature.

The disease is both quite new and highly mysterious. According to a report it is carried into human biology by nematodes that are tiny wormlike parasites that might have been originally engineered for pest control. By mysterious circumstance that no one can explain, the nematodes have become the symbiotic host for 'bacteria' that are said to have been engineered to synthesise fine fibres for the textile industry. For some strange and unexplained reason the biologically engineered nematodes got away from pest control and developed a liking for human flesh.

The rest of the frightening story ...

I can tell you people are getting this from clothes they are buying, it is in the clothes coming from china and elsewhere.

I've seen this before. I believe it's been debunked.

I thought that Bird Flu was the worldwide epidemic tragedy that was in the making...

[SlowBoat407]

Malaria is a parasitic disease that has been plaguing mankind since the begging of time.

I believe it was "The Chairmen of the Board" who first begged, "Give me just a little more time..."

[LurkedLongEnough]

Is this another one of those "meme"s?

[gridlock]

An interesting disease, but the article quickly devolves into black conspiracy theories and moonbattery.

[TaxRelief]

Just wash your new clothes in hot soapy water.

There! Problem solved.

CHINA!!!

Effective today I will become a Howard Hughes-type recluse so I can avoid the risks of the real world.

I have misplaced my tinfoil hat.

By the way, the last time this came around, most of the cases were in Southern Texas, and it was pretty clear that illegal immigrants from Mexico were to blame.

I love the scapegoat-of-the-day approach to immunological research.

Then I guess we'll all haveta run around naked as jaybirds...........

Man-made?

It would seem the common element is 'engineered'.

Well, the French are doomed! See? there's a silver lining in every cloud!..........

[Holicheese]

I just asked the same thing to my girlfriend.
What ever happened to the Bird Flu?

[DoctorMichael]

Has more than a tinge of Luddite-ism in the article.

[houeto]

I've seen this before. I believe it's been debunked.

Some scientists are saying that it's 'all in their heads', others are saying that it is very real. Go figure.

[pageonetoo]

...Presentations of Morgellons are frequently diagnosed as delusional parasitosis. The symptoms of delusional parasitosis are very similar to those presented by a Morgellons sufferer who rejects conventional diagnosis of their symptoms, or who presents a belief in the existence of an organism that cannot be observed except by the patient. There is no agreed upon differential diagnosis since Morgellons is not an accepted medical condition...

Much appreciated. I don't want this...it's one nasty condition.
