1. Preface
The distant 17th century, France, Languedoc. Medical
chronicles contain sparse mentions of a strange illness that
struck the Morgellons family. Children developed black hairs
growing beneath their skin. At the time, this phenomenon was
considered a curiosity, a local anomaly, and for centuries
it was forgotten. However, as is often the case with artifacts
of the past, the mystery was not solved but merely dormant,
waiting to awaken in a new era - an age of high technology
and global catastrophes.
2. The Awakening of an Ancient Nightmare, 2001
It all began at the turn of the millennium, in 2001, when
Mary Leitao, a mother from Pennsylvania, discovered a strange
swelling on her two-year-old son Drew's lip. What she extracted
from it did not resemble pus or a splinter. It was a tiny
fiber, reminiscent of dandelion fluff. Thus began the arduous
journey of the Leitao family through medical offices. Three
pediatricians, three allergists, two dermatologists - diagnoses
varied but were always incorrect. The disease progressed:
ulcers appeared all over the boy's body, and when they were
opened, white, blue, and black threads emerged. The child
complained of unbearable itching and a sensation that insects
were crawling under his skin. The verdict of the last
specialist, an infectious disease doctor from Johns Hopkins
University, was a blow: Munchausen syndrome. The doctor
suggested that the mother was inducing symptoms in her child
to attract attention. But Mary Leitao did not give up. In March
2004, she created a website and, in horror, discovered she was
not alone. Thousands of people worldwide described the same
symptoms. Thus, the disease acquired its modern name -
Morgellons disease, named after the French family from the
17th century. The ancient nightmare had returned.
3. Horror Movie 2002-2003
The clinical picture of Morgellons disease more closely
resembles a low-budget horror movie script than a real
medical condition. It unfolds in a strict sequence:
- Sensory Phase: Victims experience unbearable itching
all over their bodies and a torturous feeling as if something
is constantly crawling, biting, and moving beneath the skin.
- Manifestation Phase: Non-healing boils, ulcers, and lesions
appear on the skin. They partially heal, leaving scars, but
soon new ones develop elsewhere.
- Materialization Phase: When wounds are opened, inexplicable
substances emerge: multicolored fibers (blue, black, red,
white), resembling the finest silk or flexible plastic,
as well as dark granules resembling sand.
But skin manifestations are only the visible part of the
iceberg. The accompanying systemic symptoms are no less
terrifying:
- Chronic fatigue leading to incapacity.
- Sharp decline in cognitive functions, especially memory.
- Severe depression.
- Muscle spasms and cramps.
- Joint pain and swelling.
- Hair loss.
The case of former baseball player Billy Koch from Oakland
became illustrative. The disease affected him, his wife, and
three children. Despite expensive treatments, doctors could
only shrug, attributing everything to hallucinations. "This
is the scariest thing I've ever seen. Black substance was
coming out of my skin," his wife Brandi recounted.
4. Scientific Dead End, 2004-2009
Official medicine long maintained a convenient but
unsubstantiated position: "delusional parasitosis." That
all symptoms were products of the patients' disturbed
imagination. However, some scientists took the problem
seriously. Professor Randy Wymore from Oklahoma State
University, head of the Morgellons Research Foundation,
was the first to subject the mysterious fibers to detailed
analysis. The results were staggering. Spectroscopic and
chromatographic analyses revealed no similarity to any
of the 800 textile fibers in the database or to any of the
90,000 known organic substances. Wymore's conclusion
was categorical: "These are not textile fibers, worms,
insects, fragments of human skin or hair. These threads
do not originate from outside. They materialize inside
the body." Meanwhile, the epidemic, which was not
officially recognized, was gaining momentum. By 2009,
over 14,000 families from all 50 U.S. states, as well
as from the UK, Australia, and the Netherlands, had
registered on the foundation's website. Experts estimate
the real numbers are many times higher.
5. Connection with GMOs
A turning point in the research came in 2008 when
biochemistry and cell biology professor Vitaly Tsitovsky
from Stony Brook University (New York) intervened.
As a world expert on Agrobacterium tumefaciens - a soil
bacterium widely used in genetic engineering to create
genetically modified organisms (GMOs) - Tsitovsky conducted
DNA analysis of samples taken from patients. The results
shocked the scientific community. All examined samples from
Morgellons patients contained DNA of agrobacteria. No such
DNA was found in healthy individuals. This discovery suggested
that plasmids (circular DNA molecules) of this bacterium, used
to insert foreign genes into plants, could be capable
of horizontal transfer and might genetically transform
not only plant but also human cells. The hypothesis took
on a sinister hue: Morgellons disease could be a direct
consequence of GMO proliferation. Plasmids of agrobacteria,
containing transgenes, entering the human body (possibly
through food, water, or even air), could integrate into
cells and trigger the synthesis of fibers alien to humans.
This explained why the highest incidence was recorded
in countries leading in GMO production and consumption -
USA, Canada, Australia. Statistics showed peaks in states
with developed agricultural industries - Texas, California,
Florida.
6. Chemtrails - Poison from the Sky
If the GMO connection seemed bold, the next link in the
chain of evidence took the problem into the realm of global
conspiracies. Independent researchers from various countries
began recording strange activity in the sky - so-called
"chemtrails." Unlike typical condensation trails from
airplanes, which dissipate quickly, these trails lingered
in the air for hours, spreading into broad bands and forming
a milky-white veil. Analysis of precipitation after such
flights revealed the presence of barium salts, aluminum
salts, polymer fibers, and biological agents. Moreover,
comparative analysis of fibers collected from chemtrails
over Texas and Italy, and fibers extracted from the early
lesions of Morgellons patients, showed practical identity.
A shocking theory emerged: Morgellons disease might not
be an accidental side effect of GMO but a targeted dispersal
of biological weapons from the air. The goals of such
an impact ranged from total population control (using
nanoparticles acting as sensors) to systematic reduction
of humanity's numbers within programs like the "21st
Century Agenda."
7. Terrible Statistics
There is no official treatment scheme for Morgellons
disease. Desperate patients try everything: from powerful
antibiotics and antifungal drugs (which only provide
temporary relief) to folk remedies like applying ash from
alder or aspen, mentioned in old chronicles. Dr. James
Matthews, himself suffering from the ailment, reported
success with a nanoparticle silver-based drug called
NutraSilver. However, these are isolated cases, not
confirmed by large-scale clinical trials. The tragedy
is compounded by data indicating that over 180 microbiologists
attempting to study Morgellons have died under mysterious
circumstances. This suggests targeted elimination of those
who came too close to the truth.
8. Epilogue
Today, the mystery of Morgellons disease remains unresolved.
The CDC in the USA only initiated its first official
investigation in 2008, and its results are still
preliminary. What is it? A new, unstudied natural infection?
A side effect of genetic experiments on food? Or a weapon
of mass destruction already deployed against humanity?
The facts, arranged chronologically, form an ominous chain
- from forgotten medieval chronicles to secret military
laboratories and mysterious traces in the sky. One thing
is certain: Morgellons disease is not the delusion of the
insane. It is a real, painful, and possibly man-made disease
of the 21st century, posing a challenge not only to medicine
but to our entire civilization. And while scientists seek
answers, thousands continue to suffer, feeling a new, alien
life form born beneath their skin.
