Weird Disease of The Month: Morgellons Disease


This bizarre affliction was brought to my attention by a link on The Drudge Report. I'm not convinced it's altogether a real disease because I did a search on the CDC website and nothing popped up. There are no shortage of web sites that are dedicated to it though, try a google search and you'll see what I mean.
People with Morgellons Disease feel like their skin is crawling with bugs and have lesions that don't heal with multicolored fibers that autofluoresce growing out of them. Nifty huh?
