Again, a three year old is not gonna have delusional parasitosis.
And diseases are also being brought here from all over the world.
Just read on another site. The fibers are from Mars. This guy has been growing them in a petri dish. Read more at: http://www.marslife.com/glassies.htm
But his parents might.
What do you mean by "shut down the borders"?
Are you suggesting that we should close down the highways and bridges? Ban air travel to and from Mexico? What exactly do you want to do in response to a non-contagious disease?
What the hell is the matter with those idiot doctors quoted in the story? If somebody shows up in their office with a horrible skin disease, they think they're crazy? I would kick that doctor's ass and rub my lesions all over his face.
Right, just the fact that it's most prevalent in Southern Texas, California and Florida.
No evidence at all. I mean it's not like those states have the highest concentrations of illegals or anything like that right?
Feel free to return your head to the sand.
Actually it's Bush's fault first and if that don't work blame los illegales.
Its not just in South Texas. It's in California and Florida. The web site names te cities in Texas and California where the most cases are at and they are all the big cities. It could be just about anything causing it. I live near Houston. Yikes! Time to move....
Yes but I've never heard of a case of someone having dp that believed a family member had it instead of themselves. But it is a possibility. My grandmother had dp a while back. It was caused by some medication she was taking. It's really sad. They'll take lint, dirt, anything small, and tape it to paper to provide "proof" for you because you don't believe there are bugs crawling all over them.
Really? So a child cannot have psychosomatic illnesses? Mentally retarded adults cannot either? Neurodermatitis doesn't exist in children?
I'm not saying this disease/symptoms don't exist. I am skeptical of the associated hype.
You're right. The fact that this disease just spontaneously showed up in states and cities with very hi concentrations is purely coincidental.
After all it's not like illegals could have carried the stuff here and for some reason not be affected by it.
That never happens does it.
I suppose it's possible but I'm pretty sure it's mainly older adults that get dp. Reinforcement usually plays a role as they seek out others with the condition for reassurance that it's real.
>Yet we read that it's not contagious<
That's odd. According to this page on the website, http://www.morgellons.org/nurses.html , "Nurses make up the largest occupational group of all those registered with the Morgellons Research Foundation."
Now, a reasonable person would wonder why nurses, who as a profession have the most physical contact with patients, would be the most likely to contract a non-contagious disease.
There just isn't enough known about Morgellons yet.
Great work, detective.
Registering at a website means that you're infected? Where did you get your logic lessons?
Fair enough. But I'd posit that DP is more likely correlated with: overweight, unemployed, daily local TV news viewers and bat-boy National Enquirer readers (in English) than it is correlated with physically fit, illiterate Mexican illegals working concrete crews in 100F South Texas weather.
Occam's razor. If they're carrying in all manner of contagious diseases and critters that had all but been wiped out in the U.S. thereby re-introducing them to the U.S. citizenry then the most logical explanation is that they're bringing in new diseases as well.
Couple that with the clustering and all roads lead to the illegals.
The fact that the OBL doesn't want to acknowledge all the negatives associated with letting anyone and everyone wander into the U.S. and set up camp doesn't mean they don't exist and that many of us will draw the obvious correlations between the return of infectious diseases previously though eliminated and the introduction of new one's coinciding with the largest illegal mass invasion in human history.
