Morgellon's disease - (See website below- there's more)
The also have a link to a suicide hotline. It must be a terrible thing to have to live with.

Most individuals with this disease report disturbing symptoms such as crawling, stinging and biting sensations, as well as non-healing skin lesions which are associated with highly unusual structures. These structures can be described as fiber-like or filamentous, and they are the most striking and least understood aspect of this disease. In addition, many sufferers also report symptoms of disabling fatigue, severe mental confusion, short term memory loss, joint pain, sharp decline in vision, and serious neurological disorders.

The MRF is currently working with physicians, nurses, patients, and research scientists, to better understand the disease, and to increase public awareness. The MRF is also committed to raising the funds required to research this medical mystery, and has funded two university research scientists thus far.

We believe that the current situation is grave, and necessitates an immediate national response for the following reasons:

The cause and modes of transmission are unknown, therefore THIS DISEASE MAY REPRESENT A SERIOUS HEALTH THREAT TO OUR NATION.
The optimal treatment for this disease has not yet been determined, although anti-microbial agents have been found to be useful in some cases.
Most people with this illness report the inability to think or function normally, and many are now unable to work. In addition to the tremendous human suffering caused by this illness, it may soon place a huge financial burden on society, as many people with this disease are currently collecting social security disability, and many others are applying for it.
The disease affects all age groups, including children, and some of these children are no longer able to attend school.
The disease appears to be spreading at an alarming rate, especially in the state of California. (The number of self-reported cases of this disease has doubled in the past 6 months.) The number of households currently registered with the MRF is believed to represent a mere fraction of the true number of affected households.
The disease is frequently misdiagnosed as Delusional Parasitosis. Sadly, patients are often dismissed by health care practitioners, and have difficulty receiving treatment for very serious physical ailments.
More than one hundred doctors have contacted the MRF seeking treatment advice for patients, whom they believe have Morgellons disease.
Research has been extremely limited due to lack of funding. The preliminary research that has been done at Oklahoma State University and the State University of New York, however, supports the theory that Morgellons is a newly emerging disease. See the Scientific Page: Information from Scientists for details.
Additional fast-paced research is desperately needed to discover the cause of Morgellons disease, and to pinpoint optimal treatments for this disease.

A synthetic silicon based fiberoid infection that there is no known cure for that is almost certainly the bi-product of aerospace manipulations in conjunction with chemtrails and the altering of air content by the military to better transmit electro-magnetic impulses !!
Kind of scary---huh ? Not to say anything at all about down right criminal !!!
