Morgellons Disease & Lymes Disease
Morgellons Disease & Lymes Disease
It’s hard to say yet which pattern the Morgellons phenomenon will follow. Will it be the next Lyme disease, validated by the medical community? Or will its victims reside in diagnostic purgatory forevermore? Medicine is full of phenomena that sounded like psychological ailments when first proposed but are now linked to invasive pathogens.
Ulcers are caused by spirochetes, not stress. Syphilis is a bacterial infection that reaches the brain, not a kind of insanity. Tuberculosis is another infectious disease, not the psychosomatic illness it was first thought to be.
But while these stories become bits of medical lore, and the names of the scientists who made the discoveries are now well-known, the stories of the patients who were caught in the middle of the confusion are rarely told. Mary Leitao says she never wanted to be an activist. “I’m just a scared mother,” she says. And she wants an answer, whatever it is, soon.
Not long after Drew became symptomatic, his two older siblings, Jeremy, 16, and Samantha, 17, started exhibiting signs of it, too. Samantha is plagued by cognitive problems, fatigue, and joint pain. She was once in the gifted program; but now, in her senior year of high school, just started homebound instruction. Jeremy also suffers from fatigue and some cognitive problems. But he pushes himself to get to school. “I’m not sure how much longer he can push himself,” says Leitao. Drew, now 8, doesn’t seem to be cognitively afflicted, but his skin, she says, is riddled with sores and scars.
There are other families in which more than one person suffers from the symptoms too, says Leitao. But rather than see that as an indication of the disease’s infectious nature, the medical community has labeled it “folie a famille” (madness of the family). They have, she says, an explanation for everything.

Nice “Lymes Disease” photos
A few nice Lymes Disease images I found:
Teek – Tick

Ticks are leeches that can carry several diseases. This juvenile tick is about one quarter of the size of a mature one.
It takes blood analysis to find out if you have Lyme Disease, which is the most common disease carried by ticks in North America and Northern Europe
Tick Tock for Lyme disease.

Do not let this tick embed in you for 48 hours if you do not want to get Lyme disease. The Black-legged tick is the intermediate host. This is a disease you do not want to have, as you could be on antibiotics for the rest of your life if you get the disease. Look at www.flickr.com/photos/jkirkhart35/3428308822/ to compare to the Pacific Coast Tick.

Apparently, Lyme Disease has been around for a long, long time, and it was called "Montauk knee" by certain First Nation people of the Northeast.
