Wow, sounds like the beginning of a mutant race. Cue the pics of Wolverine and Jean Grey.

Professor Citovsky issued a statement saying his observation does not imply that Agrobacterium Tumafaciens causes Morgellons, or that Morgellons is indeed an infectious disease. However, he has called for further study

Thanks Scythian.

I leave you with this:

COLLEMBOLA (SPRINGTAILS) (ARTHROPODA: HEXAPODA: ENTOGNATHA) FOUND IN SCRAPINGS FROM INDIVIDUALS DIAGNOSED WITH DELUSORY PARASITOSIS

Most also reported salt like crystals falling from their skin, they were all called DOP but turned out they have collembola infestations (tiny insects) which by the way, pseudomonas putida which I mentioned above that makes plastic (do some research) is the favorite food of this insect. Glitter was so much a part of it it's now on their questionaire.

The Gut of the Soil Microarthropod Folsomia candida (Collembola) Is a Frequently Changeable but Selective Habitat and a Vector for Microorganisms

A Quote:

F. candida (Collembola) preferred to feed on Pseudomonas putida and three indigenous gut isolates rather than eight different type culture strains.

Remember, these Collembola were found in folks who went to doctors and said they were infested with parasites and then told they were crazy, but later, it turns out there were not.

Now, look at what "pseudomonas putida" (our favorite food of Collembola can also do:

Training bugs to eat plastic… CSCB researchers team up to convert polystyrene into a biodegradable plastic

Don't tell me I'm crazy, I know far more about what is going on that you might think I do. The pieces of the puzzle add up as to what is going on in my body, something in my body (a man made chemical process I believe) is creating plastic in my body, and pseudomonas putida can readily do that from what is laying around in the human body, do some research, and it is the favorite food of the parasite they are finding in people. We have done our homework, like I say, we'd have to sit down and have a conversation for me to truly convey the condition and possible causes.

Finally, like I said Dr. Wymore cultured "pseudomonas putida" off of actual Morgellons fibers, is this all coincidence? Am I so insane and delusional sounding to you, hardly.

Interview with Dr. Wymore

Individual red and blue Morgellons fibers were placed in bacterial media and cultured at body temperature. Isolates of those bacterial populations were grown on lab preparative media, blood agar, chocolate agar and a type of media that tends to support fungi better than bacteria. The bacteria were stained with various stains and observed both alive and dead. The bacteria were separated out into pure cultures (I think). PCR was performed and the amplified DNA was sent to a commercial sequencing lab to do the DNA sequencing. Two different bacterial species were identified. They were: a) Pseudomonas putida and b) Corynebacterium efficiens.

This is but one, there are other, very good theories. But whatever is in me is some very strange stuff, and causes different things to occur depending on what it finds laying around in my body that it can use, and it attracts bugs to us like we are rotting logs.

Now I have the heebie jeebies!

I can’t stop scratching!

[Scythian]

Read my post above about Collembola and "Pseudomonas putida", I'm sure my remark about bioluminescence sent you over the edge, I'll leave you with this:

A bioluminescent derivative of Pseudomonas putida KT2440 for deliberate release into the environment

Recombinant derivatives of Pseudomonas putida strain KT2440 are of potential interest as microbial inoculants to be deliberately released for agricultural applications. To facilitate tracking of this strain and its derivatives after introduction into the environment, a mini-Tn5-'luxAB transposon was introduced into the chromosome of P. putida KT2440, yielding strain P. putida S1B1. Sequencing of the DNA region located upstream of the 'luxAB genes and similarity search with the P. putida KT2440 genome sequence, localized the transposon within a 3021-bp open reading frame (ORF), whose translated sequence showed significant similarity with the hypothetical YdiJ proteins from Escherichia coli and Haemophilus influenzae. A second ORF adjacent to and divergent from the ydiJ sequence was also found and showed significant homology with various LysR-type transcriptional activator proteins from several bacteria. Disruption of the ydiJ locus in P. putida S1B1 did not affect the survival of the strain in unvegetated or vegetated soils. Bioluminescent detection of P. putida S1B1 cells enriched in selective media directly from soil allowed detection of culturable cells in soil samples over a period of at least 8 months. The addition of the luxAB biomarker facilitates tracking in the root system of several plant species grown under sterile and non-sterile conditions. The correlation of the bioluminescent phenotype with the growth activity of P. putida S1B1 cells colonizing the root system of barley and corn plants was estimated by monitoring ribosomal contents using quantitative hybridization with fluorescence-labeled ribosomal RNA probes. A correlation between inoculum density, light output, and ribosomal contents was found for P. putida cells colonizing the root system of barley seedlings grown under sterile conditions. Although ribosomal contents, and therefore growth activity, of P. putida S1B1 cells extracted from the rhizosphere of corn plants grown in non-sterile soil were similar to those found in starved cells, the luminescent system permitted non-destructive in situ detection of the strain in the upper root system. http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/11102686

The truth is sir, you really are the one that is missing the facts, living in a delusion that what I am saying cannot be happening. Most of you have no clue what is happening, growing in the fields around your homes, being released into the environment with zero regulation.

WOOOOHOOOOO Scythian! Thanks for posting/commenting/linking to the Joni Mitchell thread/educating/linking/answering questions/etc., etc.

I'm sorry, I just cannot fully explain what a Morgellons sufferer goes through, all of the symtpoms and experiences we go through, the descriptions you read in the media just barely begin to really explain it.

I am closely acquainted with another Morgellons patient, sharing some but not all of the symptoms you've described. I witnessed some of the unusual material being ejected from the skin. Whether this is a single unexplained syndrome, or a combination of known disease processes manifesting in unusual ways, I am convinced it is "real" in some patients. Some psychopathology is inevitable, whether primary or secondary, as no person harboring these physical symptoms could avoid being depressed and anxious, at a minimum. Best wishes to you.

Paging Dr. Gregory House....

[Scythian]

Thanks, I think if one takes the time to look at the information I posted above regarding the study that found Collembola (a tiny insect) in those previosly written off as delusional, and that thier favorite food is Ps. Putida, and that Ps. Putida turns oils and other material into platic and that Dr Wymore cultured it off actual Morgellons fibers (but didn’t know in 2006 what the signifance was) and that they use this as a standard building block in GMO Corn and Soybean applications and that they have gene spliced bioluminescense into so they can trace it, it’s really not that far fetched at all. In fact, since Ps. Putida is a common soil bacterium (that has been hopped via GMO) this could explain how Morgellons existed back in the 1600’s from whence the name comes, perhaps somehow this got into people back then by some strange twist of fate, only now we’ve screwed with it, and it’s gone world wide through the food supply, but now, it’s more virulent and built to withstand anything. But there is more to it, it’s just not Ps. Putida, there is a good case to be made for an “Oomycete” playing a role in this as well, a very good case actually.

Are you in Florida or Texas?

"I don't believe a medical professional would diagnose worms and bugs crawling out of someones skin as an emotional disorder."

My thought as well.

[Scotswife]

“I also had an uncle who would complain about bugs and other creepy crawlies on his skin.

Don’t rule out delerium tremens.”

Sometimes I think the internet does more harm than good.

In 2003 I woke up one morning blind in one eye. I was also suffering chronic fatigue, a sensation of water dripping down my legs, and a weird sensation of a “worm” moving in my head behind the affected eye.

(I didn’t really think there was actual worm -that’s just how I describe the sensation)

The first suspect on the list was MS, and that’s how they treated - infusion with steroids.
It took 2 weeks for the vision to come back, and I went through my 1st set of MRI’s.
During that time I was scouring the internet plugging my symptoms into search engines and coming up with all sorts of bizarre possibilities.

My MRI’s were clean. They ordered MRIs after another 6 months (6 months I spent online obsessing over it all)

2nd set of MRIs were clean. No MS - no nothing. The doctor told me to “put it out of your head - it was most likely a strange virus that caused your optic nerve to swell”

The eye doctor said neurological pain can have very strange sensations - he thought the “worm” in my head was due to the inflamed optic nerve.

It took awhile to put it out of head - but once I stopped trying to diagnose myself online I sure was alot happier.

[Grizzled Bear]

Feeling itchy today?

I'm going to track you down. I'm going to give you a wedgie. Or a swirly.

[Scythian]

Neither, that is a myth that the disease is mostly in those places, much like Lyme Disease is only on the east coast, there are people on our forums from everywhere, I mean everywhere. Even from other countries as well. There are countries like Germany, Austrialia and others with very high infection rates.

Prayers for a complete recovery!

[tajgirvan]

Believe me I know about Lyrica. I cannot take it any longer. The swelling it caused in my joints was unbeliveable!

It must be nice reserving your judgment until the CDC study is finished! Meanwhile thousands suffer because there is no "study" to back up their claims!

Scythian, you have our prayers, I Know what It feels like to be be the only one. I am here for you if you need to talk! My beloved husband, saltnlemons, another FReeper has stood with me these 20 years. He is better at the keyboard then I am! Some days it really hurts to type. May God Bless you & your family!
