Maybe NOT delusion, but illegal aliens bringing us the diseases which Americans will not.
"unidentifiable objects poking out of their skin" This is the San Fransisco area after all. I guess after a while things start poking out if you poke enough in.
Just like Alien Abductions. First ask yourself: does this disease/phenomenon mysteriously seem to afflict only upper-middle-class whiteys?
Place "The Cita" under quarantine and use the military to cordon it off. Request that the WHO provide food, water and material aid. Await further developments.

FReepmail me if you want on or off my health and science ping list.
What I don't understand is if these people have all these horrible symptoms (things poking out of their skin - YUK!) and they go to a doctor, how is it that the doctor doesn't see these things? Or do they disappear on exposure to fresh air and daylight?
Constitutional questions aside, clearly the CDC is overfunded. What a waste - spending taxpayer monies on such an improbable threat!
Me thinks the British oughta give back to Morgellons Islands back to Argentina!
Just another unidentified sclerosis?

Frightening Skin Disease Invades L.A. (Morgellons)
The CDC must be recruiting psychiatrists...
When I first read about this condition, I was pretty well horrified - but I kept reading that many who suffer from it, feel that it was caused by chemtrails. So it really has little credibility as far as I am concerned.
My brother said Morgellons was covered on Coast to Coast w/Geo Nouri the other night. Just a note to people with really serious topics...Don't go on that program to talk about it.
Some guy on another forum I post on killed himself over Morgellons. Said it was too painful to live with.
Delusional parasitosis or Ekbom's Syndrome is a rare disorder in which sufferers hold a delusional belief they are infested with parasites. A related symptom involving a tactile hallucination of insects, snakes, or other vermin crawling over the skin is known as formication. The origin of this word is from the Latin formica, "ant".
The sufferer typically reports parasites to exist under the skin, around or inside body openings, in the stomach or bowels and may include a belief that the parasites infest the sufferer's home, surroundings or clothing.
A person holding such a belief may approach doctors or dermatologists asking for treatment for the supposed infestation, and will often bring small particles, dust, skin flakes and other material for the doctor to inspect. Since the material may be carried in an envelope or matchbox, this presentation is known as the "matchbox sign."
Stimulant drug abuse (particularly amphetamine and cocaine) can lead to delusional parasitosis. For example, excessive cocaine use can lead to an effect nicknamed "cocaine bugs" where the affected person believes he has, or feels parasites crawling under his skin. These conditions are also associated with high fevers and extreme alcohol withdrawal, often associated with visual hallucinations of insects.
People suffering from these conditions may scratch themselves to the extent of serious skin damage and bleeding, especially if they are delirious or intoxicated.

I haven't checked, but Linda Moulton Howe said her website

The Bay Area is home to a large cluster of intensely evil people who have it coming, as far as I'm concerned. I see no reason to believe that the disease is not real, but any attempt by the CDC to classify it has to be recognized as an attempt to drain money from public coffers, into those of the mega-giant drug firms.
