Now Morgellons are parasites?

More like delusions of parasites. I've seen the so-called fibers. (worms, whatever) they are microscopically and chemically identical to carpet fibers.

The fibers are nothing that’s right, however, the MRF identified the parasites, thier papers will be publish soon, there are at least 3 types of worms involved, and some very serious pathogens, they are unsure which is the cause and which is the secondary invader. Dr. Harvey has identified Morgellons.

I believe that only Scientology can fight the Morgellons.

(And, even then, only at the $2 million donation level.)

I think it is probably some OCD manifestation. A new evolution of the germaphobes. If people really knew how many beneficial parasites live on our body, they would freak out (if they don't have a firm grasp of reality.) You are literally covered with beneficial parasites, crawling all over you, eating dead skin. They are a part of you.
Just for fun, here are some images of what is on us all right now. Just imagine, billions of these crawling all over you.

"I've seen the so-called fibers. (worms, whatever) they are microscopically and chemically identical to carpet fibers."

During the summers of my high school years, I worked with a contractor building houses. When I first heard about Morgellon's and it symptoms, they sound basically identical to an overexposure to fiberglass insulation. The symptoms would manifest themselves especially after having worked in a hot, humid space where I suspect the pores and follicles of the skin were dilated allowing the fibers access to the epidermal layers. Note that Morgellons has frequently been cited as a condition prevalent in hot/humid areas. It also created the same itching and crawling sensation described by *Morgellons sufferers*, and could linger for weeks regardless of how much one showered or bathed.
