It never ceases to amaze me how wealthy celebrities feel so entitled. I once waited on Roberta Flack, who was not only rude, but didn't pay her bill and left no tip. The manager gushed over her and I said so what?! She's a freeloading cheapskate!

Now wait just a minute. Your original article says this:
Nurse practitioner Ginger Savely treats Morgellons patients from all over the country at her San Francisco Medical Center.
The article at post #28 says this:
"These people will have like beads of sweat but it's black, black and tarry," said Ginger Savely, a nurse practioner in Austin who treats a majority of these patients.
So which is it? Or does Nurse Savely really get around with her practice that much?
Frankly, my BS meter is going off.

and I read a few years ago that Demi Moore and her boyfriend (pre-boy-toy) went bed shopping, found one they liked and then demanded they give it to them since she was, after all, Demi Moore..... she used to pull interesting stunts when she'd go on her doll buying sprees, too.

Good lord, it sounds like something right out of a "We've been invaded by Aliens" movie..

However, we can conquer these diseases with love and compassion. The rise of various unknown ailments is merely further proof, as if any further proof was necessary, that our diversity is our strength!

I think you are probably right. Psuedofoliculitus barbs (ingrown hairs) or something simular.

Good catch, Prairiebreeze and I think I know what you mean about your BS meter going off.
Hopefully you will take the time to alert the National Institute of Health, Entrez Pub Med and/or the American Journal of Clinical Dermatology about the discrepancies, because look what they went ahead and published about Morgellons disease here .

"Batrachochytrium dendrobatidis?"
Or another fungal infection yet to be identified. The disease almost sound like a mycellium is spreading through the patient's body. The pimples could be the fruiting body, the threads could be the mycellium.

'These people will have like beads of sweat but it's black, black and tarry,"
One of the things that happens with Ebola is that the people bleed through their eyes, ears, sweat blood. Sounds like people with Morgellens are exuding something like an oily concentrated blood through their sweat glands.
To: bd476
There are several reasons that I think they ought to at least persue it, like: PMS, fibromyalgia, Chronic Fatigue Symdrome, Lyme disease... There are other examples of diseases that were originally thought to be psychosomatic that were brought up on another thread addressing this issue, but I can't remember what they were. Anyway, it's just strange that so many people would have such similar symptoms.

LOL I'll have to check that out.
Judd Hirsch was another one- couldn't be bothered to get his own cigarettes (from the machine), then dumps his Canadian change as part of the (rather small) tip.
Of course they aren't all like that- Cleavon Little gave me $20 for bringing him a ginger ale, very nice guy in addition to being generous.

Thanks. And anyone that thinks a terrorist coming across the border has to be carrying an atomic bomb is dreaming.

Interesting comment for Francophobes at a blog I found:
Morgellons Disease
This condition exhibits as pustules and the presence of strange fibers within the lesion. The bacterium causing this condition has been found. It is named (try to take a deep breath and get someone else to pronounce it) Stenotrophomonasmaltophilia.
The crawling skin feeling is caused by multiple flagella on the bacterium and the fibers are actually produced by the bacterium. Bottled water has been blamed for the largest element of infection and the biggest offender is bottled water from France. One study observed that one-third of the bottled waters from France contain this organism.
The treatment is intensive and requires high dosages of sulfur drugs and antibiotics, although the bacteria appear to be resistant to many antibiotics.
In conclusion, whilst it may not be the best thing in the world, drink water from your tap and stop spending money on sucking up germs for your trouble. Many bottled waters here in the States are also affected.
One nice thing about this mess, is the fact that the bacterium is killed by boiling. Further, if you like bubbles as I do, carbonated water is immune to the bugs. This may be due to the higher base figure and/or the processing of carbonated water.
Search MORGELLONS DISEASE for more information on this unusual and recent phenomena.

And the ratio of homosexuals to heterosexual population in San Francisco, Los Angelos, San Diego, Houston, Austin, and Dallas is ..................
These are just a few of the more than 3500 Americans believed to be suffering from the illness. The highest rate is right here in the L.A. area.
They seem to have most of the dysfunctional and undocumented people there. It could have come in from any where in the world, or mutated because of strange behaviors that would have been banned in the past.
