Association of spirochetal infection with Morgellons disease

Abstract
Morgellons disease (MD) is an emerging multisystem illness characterized by skin lesions with unusual filaments embedded in or projecting from epithelial tissue. Filament formation results from abnormal keratin and collagen expression by epithelial-based keratinocytes and fibroblasts. Recent research comparing MD to bovine digital dermatitis, an animal infectious disease with similar skin features, provided clues that spirochetal infection could play an important role in the human disease as it does in the animal illness. Based on histological staining, immunofluorescent staining, electron microscopic imaging and polymerase chain reaction, we report the detection of Borrelia spirochetes in dermatological tissue of four randomly-selected MD patients. The association of MD with spirochetal infection provides evidence that this infection may be a significant factor in the illness and refutes claims that MD lesions are self-inflicted and that people suffering from this disorder are delusional. Molecular characterization of the Borrelia spirochetes found in MD patients is warranted.

Morgellons
These investigations have determined that the cutaneous filaments are not implanted textile fibers, but are composed of the cellular proteins keratin and collagen and result from overproduction of these filaments in response to spirochetal infection.

Symptoms of Morgellons:
• Intense itching • Biting, stinging and crawling sensations under and on the skin • Eruption of rashes or sores, "cat scratches*," with possibility of non-healing lesions (although this may not be a symptom in everyone) • Bacterial infections • Fungal/yeast overgrowth • Debilitating fatigue • Neurological problems and ‘brainfog’ • Fibers under and emerging from the skin. These fibers are not textile in nature and are the defining symptom of Morgellons • ‘Black specks,’ and ‘sand-type particles’ just under and emerging from the the skin • Possible joint pain and/or muscle spasms Source: Fiber partially emerging from skin. 200x Camera: Celestron 44306 morgellonsdiseaseawareness.com/physicians_reference_guide |
The Mystery of Morgellons Disease
Dr Michel Ettmuller’s microscopic drawings, dating from 1682, of objects associated with what was then believed to be a worm infestation of children appear to be similar to microscopic views of fibers from present-day sufferers of this disease. Many patients with Morgellons disease have positive Western blots for Borrelia burgdorferi, the causative agent of Lyme disease.

SIR THOMAS BROWNE AND THE DISEASE CALLED THE MORGELLONS
|
It is suggested that the disease called by Sir Thomas Browne, the Morgellons, is a disease that caused considerable interest in the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries, known under a variety of names such as Les Crinons, Masclous, Masquelons, from which it is suggested the name of Morgellons is derived.

In 2010, scientists at the J. Craig Venter Institute created the first synthetic genome and inserted it into an empty bacterial cell. The resulting bacterium, named Mycoplasma laboratorium, could replicate and produce proteins.[43][44] Genetic engineering https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Genetic_engineering Delusional Parasitosis And Morgellons. ..Call it Mycoplasma laboratorium! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XkvozJtL-aw |
