A UV flashlight is available on amazon for under $10 and I would love it if more people checked and got back to me.

like that?

Yes, any UV flashlight will do. I prefer one that uses 2 AA batteries but any will do.

If there were one thing I could convince all the members to do, this would be it. Everything must begin somewhere.

I am expecting a high number of positives and I am confident we have fearlessly vocal people in this group who will report what they find.

Make sure you do this in a room with no other light on.

classic morgellons is actually a mite infestiation, treatment resistant. I think alot of lymies call bartonella symptoms morgellons, but they never actually had classic morgellons.

the following is NOT my story, but the treament protocol described here has worked for several ppl with morgellons. this is the best description of what exactly is going on with classic morgellons i have found

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

These plugs are parasites. DO NOT LET ANYONE CONVINCE YOUR OTHERWISE …and believe me, they’ll try (ill-informed dermatologists included). The parasites are called Demodex mites. That plug is the adult stage of the mite. Usually, humans are only inhabited by Demodex folliculorum and Demodex brevis. I suspect you’re describing the Demodex injai, the "large-body" Demodex.

You'll want to get rid of these things ASAP and with extreme prejudice. I wound up with an all-out infestation because it took me 7 years, 5 useless dermatologists, and 2 ill-equipped primary care physicians to figure it out. One dermatologist accused me of making the sores myself and suggested I take an anti-depressant. But, don't get me started on that... I even had an elevated IGg because my system was so irritated by them.

Anyway, back to the mites …The adults move around on your skin (usually at night because they don’t like light) and give you an itchy, crawly sensation. After they mate, the pregnant female emerges to lays eggs. When the pregnant female comes out, it looks kind of like a regular pimple. But, no puss comes out it-only fluid- and it gets red and irritated if you mess with it. The eggs she lays around the area where she emerged, that look kind of like "spindles." They’re down inside your skin but have little white hairs sticking out of your pores. Those hairs get a little thicker and will sometimes fall out as the egg evolves into an adult mite. Don’t bother pulling them out. The hairs will simply detach and the mite will stay in your pore. The adult mites are NOTHING NICE. They have, what I call venom (for lack of a better word), that causes a sever immune response.

If you mess with them, they create this clear fluid that makes a hole in your skin. If you persist, they will make you bleed profusely. I think that stuff is an anti-coagulant too! After you lose the battle (and you will), your skin feels like it's on FIRE. Depending upon how much you messed with them, you'll either have a sore spot that won't heal or a plasticky quasi-scab looking thing …on top of a sore that won’t heal. If you lift up the plasticky scab, you can see the adult mites attached to the underside of it. I say that to say this: DON’T BOTHER MESSING WITH THEM. You will not get them out without putting a deep hole in your skin. They just dig down deeper if you try to pull them out with tweezers. The immune response will make a real mess of your face. You cannot kill the adult Demodex with creams because they move down into your pores beyond the reach of topical miticides. You cannot kill adult Demodex with ingested miticides because they have a hard outer shell that protects them from absorbing the chemicals. If you pinch one of those white plugs really hard with some tweezers you can hear it crunch. (I even tried applying a tiny bit of RAID …didn’t work.)

I got rid of the MF’ers with 3 things: (1) Ivermectin, (2) Permethrin SFR, and (3) sulfur paste (all of which I found at the local feed store for animals). First: Use Ivermectin to kill the mid-stage mites. I used the equine version. It’s a paste with 1.87% Ivermectin. (DO THIS AT YOUR OWN RISK. IVERMECTIN DOSES ARE DETERMINED BY WEIGHT. I SIMPLY USED THE APPROPRIATE AMOUNT OF PASTE FOR MY WEIGHT. I HAD NO PROBLEMS AT ALL, BUT BE CAREFUL). Within 6-8 hours of your first dose of Ivermectin, you'll see the mites pushing out of your pores IN DROVES. Because it only kills the mid-stage mites (not eggs or adults), you’ll need to take Ivermectin once a week, for 4-6 weeks. When you take the Ivermectin, change your bed sheets every night, for at least three nights. Also, buy a few extra pillow cases so you can have a newly washed pillow case every night for at least four weeks. I STRONGLY suggest this measure because the mites wreaked havoc on my scalp.

My hair has not grown for more than 3 years. You may want to use Selson Blue shampoo for 4 to 6 weeks, just in case. Second: Use Permethrin SFR, which is 38.6 % Permethrin, to kill the eggs. Dilute it in a spray bottle and spray EVERYTHING in your house, including mattresses, couches, carpets, etc. …EVERYTHING. Then, vacuum really good, and spray EVERYTHING again. Buy new pillows too. Wash ALL CLOTHING and LINENS in hot water. Put them in the dryer on “high heat.”

I even lightly sprayed the Permethrin solution on the dried laundry, and the replaced bed sheets. Permethren is not really toxic to humans, and it’s odorless once it dries (PLEASE READ THE PACKAGING THOROUGLY). WHILE I DON’T RECOMMEND THIS: I poured ¾ cup of the Permethrin SFR in my bath water. After soaking for a short time, there were so many eggs (with the white hairs) that my bath water had a film on it. I only did this because I had a full-on infestation. Third: Apply the sulfur paste all over your body. It’s a little tricky to apply, so I suggest wearing gloves. Also, it’s really thick and has a strong smell. I used Pierce’s All Purpose Nu-Stock.

I had to mix the paste with baby oil to get it to spread. You’re supposed to wear it, kind of like calamine lotion, for 3 days straight. Then re-apply, on top of the first application, and wear for another 3 days. The objective is to keep the adult mites from mating and laying new eggs. I realize this is a lot. But, BELIEVE ME, you do not want to be infested with these things. This has been a 7-year nightmare for me …finally coming to an end. Good luck!

I found this useful and am at week 9 and am down to mites. I believe yes it is mites but was alot more. I have fought fungi, bacteria and other things but I thought I should post this to let people know. At week nine I have finally done a course of ivermectin and am down to the mites. Only Lysol will kill them. Not bleach or anything else I have tried all that killed everything else that goes with this disease. Did a flea/tick bomb this weekend and afterwards my vacuum canister was hopping so it just aggrevated them. Washer/dryer doeant kill this last portion but I am finding that Lysol will. I am still working to get them out of my skin since I finally went to the Dr. and since they could see anything they gave me hydrocortizone and looked at me luke I was crazy. I said do I have to bring in the mites out of my shower from me using sulphur soap to get permethrin cream? So I have been using the alternative of deet. I do believe after nine weeks I am close to the end of the tunnel and am glad I didnt go to the Dr. earlier to get told I was crazy. Before the mites was fungi and worms which I treated with pinworm meds, hydrogenw peroxide soaks and when I added Iodine that killed and healed sores. Also, hitting the sores with the deet spray helped in my case.

I forgot to metion. If your dog has this, which mine did. I used veterinary formula antipatastic and antiseborrheic shampoo on her. Worked great and then hot spotted her feet she was chewing due to lesions with their hotspot also from tractor supply. Also, I forgot to mention I used a shaver on all laudey when it came out of dryer on lintballs and rollers on rugs even after vacumming which showed thevacuum does not pull up the fibers or specs or whatever it was which makes us sound “delusion”.

The UV light is to check the back of your throat to see if it glows. If it does you have been exposed to massive mold which in many cases leads to either mold poisoning, lyme symptoms, and in some cases Morgellons.

There is no danger from a UV flashlight as long as you dont point it directly into the eye.

Use Modified Citrus Pectin to pull out the toxins that make you rage. 4g per day.

I do not recommend bathing. Everyone who bathes gets an endless supply of this stuff coming out of them. Just shower.

Far infra red sauna will help immensely (near IR is ok if that is all you have). You can massage the foreign material out of your body after sweating for 40 minutes.

Building a Magnesium tolerance helped me immensely also. I have been in remission for approaching 2 years now and have no symptoms and need no more medications as long as I remain on the Carnicom Protocol.

Keto or Paleo. Tart fruits are ok.

You can beat this. The earlier you start the better.

PS: Borax also kills fungus in you so maybe people with candida/mold are more susceptible to these parasites. Borax is a natural insecticide, so this is definitely a bug or it wouldn't have worked. Hydrogen peroxide brings them to life. I just tried the Himalayan salt/vitamin c water and all the lyme twitching subsided.

I did not have high blood pressure before or after. Borax was short term, less toxic than ivermectin and permethrin and my tub was lined with black specks after four days. Read about it on earthclinic dot com to hear others finding relief the same way. By the time I found what worked, my appt came up to see an infectious disease specialist at Toronto general....I went just so I could share my story and help him help others....he validated me and said to continue using borax. Google borax conspiracy. People using much larger doses of Himalayan salt for Lyme. I am just sharing what worked for me....after months of trying everything else. Incidentally, I know people who used it for arthritis with great success.

UV light will cause cancer on whatever you point at it. So you'll have throat cancer.....

Can we move these morgellion threads somewhere else? They are literally toxic. this is disturbing.

The cancer risk is very small and it would require repeated frequent exposure from a source of greater power than a flashlight. The sun would give you way more UV light exposure in a day than a small flashlight would checking once a month for a few seconds.

Also the thread is labelled Morgellons so where is it exactly that you suggest the discussion take place?

So Morgellons is important to be aware of. If you just google it you will get wrong, misleading information.

Morgellons is not a parasite, fungus or a delusion.

That is not to say that someone doesn't also have fungal issues or parasites when they have Lyme and morgellons.

If you have Lyme, and I mean Borellia B specifically, it doesn't mean you have Morgellons, but if you have Morgellons...you have Lyme. That has already been determined by researchers Eva Sapi and her group at New Haven University in Connecticut and other researchers.
From Eva Sapi:
"A number of peer reviewed published studies have shown that Morgellons skin lesions are associated with Lyme disease. The causative agent of Lyme disease, Borrelia burgdorferi, and other closely related bacteria have been detected in Morgellons skin lesions. “This finding has been reproduced at four independent laboratories,” says Dr. Éva Sapi of the University of New Haven. “Thus the association between infection and Morgellons disease is reproducible if the correct detection methods are used.”

Bartonella is also indicated to be a strong player in Morgellons.

Not everyone with Morgellons get the lesions, black specks or the structural proteins that take different forms and push out of the skin.

The determining factor if you have Morgellons...is fibers.

This is a horrific illness for many, and what they go through can be excruciating painful both physically and mentally....Morgellons can be horrendous and disfiguring.

Please have compassion and understanding as many many people have suffered and been labeled delusional for decades.

Many people that possibly think they may have Morgellons could be reading what is said on this forum. They could be searching for answers or reaching out for help.

We can help by referring them to the Charles E. Holman Morgellons Disease Foundation at

http://www.thecehf.org/

Ilads.org

And the book "Morgellons:The legitimization of a disease "by G. Savely


Morgellons is a real disease.

It should be open for discussion here since it is a manifestation of Lyme and most likely Bartonella.
