Has anyone had or recovered from morgellons? It's biting, stinging, small granules, black specs, feels like you are wearing a wool suit, low-grade headache, worse under flourescent lights, tiny white worms or flying insects occa. which dissappear right away? I've had it since April 2009. Please help if you can - Thanks Tigatail
Hello tigtail,
I have been through all of the above that you have mentioned and after many sleepless nights and tear filled day's and all my saving's being depleted, and many trips to doctor's office and Emergency Rooms trying to figure out what this was. I bought a 10.00$ Home mold Test Kit and put samples of these black specs, clear granules and white flakes that came out of my skin along with some other lesion debris and put this on there petri dish that was in this kit. I then mailed it to their Lab and for 30.00 more additional dollars they tested my SAMPLES AND SENT ME BACK MY RESULTS VIA e-mAIL AND THE RESULTS WERE SHOCKING, It showed aspergillus mold, Curvularia, Cladosporium, and non sporlating fungi. Morgellons is a fungal disease in my opinion. I had the biting, crawling and actual bugs and their larvae in my skin, I had these bugs professionally identified and for the most part they were normal garden variety bugs that were not known as predators of humans. Then why were they on me? They were on me because of the mold and fungus that was growing on my skin, at one point my whole neck had became encased with bio glue which after i was able to peel off a small portion and send it for testing I found out it was not bio glue at all, it was MOLD.. I also sent the notorious black specs to entomologist for ID and the results were they are not insect, I kept arguing with these people that they had to be because they were biting me. They took second look still no insect but when I put these specs on this mold test kit they began to grow and were positively ID'ed as a mold. Go get you a home mold test kit and start there instead of wasting all your resources on trying to get rid of the bugs. Once you get rid of the fungus you will also get rid of the bugs, they are on you due to you're fungal infection drawing them to your skin. That is what they feed off of, the fungus growing on our skin. I have been taking Itraconazole for 2 weeks and have had no biting itching or crawling sensation on my skin, but am having some problems with my lungs due to having a fungal infection there also. Hopefully with time I will make a full recovery. I wish you luck on your journey to wellness!!! P.S. you can search the old post for more of my symptoms if you like, as I have been going through this for 2 years now. But it seems like for me my nightmare is finally coming to an end or at least i now know how to treat it and am able to keep bugs off of my skin... This mold Fungus is some very bad stuff and even once you find out what it is it takes time and medicine to get rid of it.
