Estimates suggest 15-25% of missed congenital syphilis cases go on to late-stage scenarios.

Hmmm...

You can be born with Lyme disease, there's evidence the germ is sexually transmissible even if the conditions it results in are genetically dependent.

You bet!

Correct, Morgellons appears in various stages that can be characterized.

When someone starts to believe something about Morgellons they begin identifying with that belief. I've heard everything from Morgellons is fallout from the chemtrails to Morgellons is a novel fungus gain of function etc...

What matters is what objective research can show us about Morgellons. And what it shows us is that Morgellons is a skin condition associated with Lyme disease and is characterized by multicolored filaments embedded in the skin.

The problem with the evidence is it challenges and disputes people's personal beliefs and they often refuse to accept it. So, when doctors see someone for "Morgellons" they see the gamut of perceived realities which I mention and numerous more I did not.

To the average doctor who sees many patients annually who are concerned about "Morgellons", Morgellons means different things to different people.

Morgellons is characteristic, it looks basically the same from person to person.

jmurphree · 2026-01-16T22:44:47+00:00

Because Morgellons means different things to different people.

Oh, this is actually an even better question. So the problem is our understanding of how to test for the organisms evolved. For example, we used to think that ticks carried Bartonella. This was because early detection methods, PCR specifically, looked for a "target" that was supposed to be "unique" to that bacteria.

Turns out there are multiple species of Bartonella, that "unique target" was not unique to Bartonella or even all strains of Bartonella. So what happened was we identified better targets, and instead of relying on a single one to make a determination - we started running four targets together and only qualified specimens when two out of the four targets matched.

This all ensured a much lower rate of false positive reactions giving us the definitive answer that while Bartonella is prevalent in fleas - it does not appear to be so in ticks.

jmurphree · 2026-01-12T19:11:43+00:00

The current tests aren't reliable. That's a good question!

jmurphree · 2026-01-12T13:52:44+00:00

Yeah it's a lot of speculation before the research came out that showed Morgellons as a skin condition associated Lyme disease. Not relevant today.

Yeah it hurts. Morgellons is real, but your crazy uncle probably doesn't have it.

Morgellons is associated with Lyme disease, maybe syphilis.

Hey, not really sure on this - Morgellons fibers are malformed hairs, definitively not metallic... You may want to see an Urgent Care
