"Morgellons" or "Morgellons disease" is a controversial name that has been given to a speculated and equally controversial medical condition. Currently, there is no known etiology or treatment, and the diagnostic criteria has not yet been formally established. Patients who claim to have the disease describe the polysymptomatic syndrome as primarily characterized by skin lesions and the appearance of fibers and granules coming out of the skin. Most dermatologists deny that the disease exists and attribute it to a variation of delusional parasitosis; [1] however, formal research is needed to make a conclusive determination. In June 2006, The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention began a full investigation into Morgellon.

Symptoms
According to an opinion piece published in the American Journal of Clinical Dermatology, Morgellons symptoms include skin lesions which can be anything from minor to disfiguring in their appearance, sensations of crawling and stinging on and under the skin, and the appearance of fibers and granules coming out of the skin. In addition, "[a]ccording to statistics from the Morgellons Research Foundation (MRF), the majority (95%) of affected patients also report symptoms of disabling fatigue and self-described "brain fog" or problems with attention. Patients also report a high incidence (50%) of fibromyalgia, joint pain, and sleep disorders. Other symptoms include hair loss, decline in vision, neurological disorders and disintegration of teeth in the absence of cavities or gingivitis. Most patients are unable to continue working, and those who are able to continue working report that they do not function optimally."[11] The authors "declare[d] that they have no conflicts of interest related to the contents of this article." In fact, the paper was co-authored by the founder of the Morgellons Research Foundation and other MRF members involved in the treatment of Morgellons patients.
