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 fluorescent lights, tiny white worms or flying insects occa. Which disappear right away? I've had it since April 2009. Please help if you can - Thanks Tigatail

All I can offer is a link to the Research Foundation's website.

You have to start by doing a parasite detox.
Collidal silver should be good but buy a good quality in a dark bottle. Follow directions exactly.
Then you may need to do a digestive detox.

Do not stay on detoxes or Collidal Silver for any lengths of time. A couple weeks to a month should be good, unless the directions suggest otherwise.

Cut out sugar, artificial sweeteners, lunch meat, ice, fruit and vegetable skins,

Drink spring water. Avoid tap water.

If I remember right it is not only a parasite but also a fungal problem

Thank you all for your input. I will try the colloidal silver. Am doing the intestinal detox now.

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, 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 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.

mmarsha - THANK YOU. I am going through this for a year now. I understand what you have done to help cure yourself but What have you done to clear all mold/fungus out of your house?

You have proof of what is causing this nightmare - PLease Contact Univ of Oklahoma & Randy Wymore, where they are researching this and tell them what you have found

I was dumbfounded after reading mmarsha's response above. My experience is almost identical. I would have saved well over $15,000 and dozens of trips to various doctors and specialist with this simple protocol. I had almost given up and felt suicidal because doctors were not willing to think outside the box, what a sham and disapoinment. If you are feeling this way, then this approach is easy but treatment for fungal infection takes time and weeks of treatment. Do not give up! This protocol has helped me tremendously although I'm still hypersensitive and struggle with athsma periodically.

200 mg ketoconazole per day for fungal infection
30 mg vyvanse per day for ADHD
4 mg cholestyramine 4 times a day (per Dr. Shoemake in Maryland- This guy knows mold exposure treatment inside and out)
Use Hydrogen peroxide to clean lesions and ears
Use netti pot saline rinse to cleanse sinuses
Use eye drops to cleanse eyes as needed
Cut sugar out of the diet
Use antifungal soap and shampoo

The cause is exposure to Stachybotrys, Aspergillus, Penicillium, Cladosporium, Cuvularia, and Mycelia Sterila- a non sporulating fungi cultured from my lungs.

Water damaged building. I found dense black growth hidden inside of the electrical socket which I swabbed and sent to an independent laboratory. Professional testing contractor found other molds growing inside the wall. Remediation is another story because this is a government building and management claims it is safe because there are no set mcls or OSHA standards. This is an exteremely controversial situation.

Purchase a HEPA filter for your home, I recommend the Honeywell 17000 series. It works well and is affordable.
Get your home inspected by a licensed and insured moisture control expert. Do you homework beforehand so you don't get ripped off.
Have the HVAC inspected and cleaned if necessary.
Practice good hygiene.

My symptoms include:
Athsma
Morgellons syndrome- blistered skins, unusual lesions, fibers (like pigpen from Charlie Brown), itchy, biting bugs, yadayada
Hives
Chronic Sinusitis
Bloody nose
Fibromyalgia
Chronic Fatigue
Headache
Blurred vision
Ear infections and ringing
Chronic Bronchitis
Prostate problems
Anxiety
Joint pains
Severe weight loss
IBS
Insomnia
Difficulty Swallowing

Thank God for giving me the will to survive and overcome, and the wealth of knowledge on the internet that all the ivy leauge doctors aren't willing to understand. I wish that all who are suffering get relief from this horrible disease and start living again.

Tortuga - Can you give me more info on the doc from Maryland. I can't find any info on him.
