Morgellons disease (MD) is a rare condition that involves fibers appearing underneath the skin or emerging from slow-healing skin sores. People with MD often report feeling stinging, crawling, or burning sensations on their skin.
These symptoms can be painful and long-lasting, affecting quality of life. However, the condition is controversial. While some research has found MD to be infection-based, other studies suggest that it may be purely psychological.
Research is ongoing to better understand MD and identify effective treatment options.
in several published studies using a variety of techniques. Spirochetes genetically identified as Borrelia burgdorferi sensu stricto predominate as the infective agent in most of the Morgellons skin specimens studied so far. Other species ofBorrelia including Borrelia garinii, Borrelia miyamotoi, and Borrelia hermsii have also been detected in skin specimens taken from MD patients.
