Note: Most symptoms (90%) are caused from Lyme disease and other bacterial infections (chlamydia, mycoplasma) and 10% from a systemic or subcutanous mycosis or protozoanosis.

In regard to the symptoms, in the initial stage one may experience increased crawling sensation, mostly around the scalp, nose and mouth. This is individual and is caused from fibers or spores that are growing out of skin pores. After a certain time large skin areas are covered with a biofilm of spores and protoplasm.

In the second stage is noticed, a biting and stinging sensation which is later followed by an itching. This is caused, particullary on sweatty skin areas, from the biofilm entering the enlarged pores. Sufferers report subjectively the feeling of glass fibre similar to asbestos which causes them to have an intolerable itching sensation.

In a later stage, all typical skin disorders and cell damages (blisters, pustules, lesions, sores) are becoming then more noticeable. This is the worst stage and a sudden treatment is strictly adviceable, otherwise the skin will look like on these pictures above and here below from a sufferer which could not stop the invasive Morgellons growth and the massive destruction of the the skin, and lost of hairs.

The infestation is represented also more strongly, due to many factors such as the season (summer heat), the physical condition of the host body, depending upon that he sweat less or more and if a thyroid condition exists etc. As well if the host`s intake of carbohydrates and sugars is too high.

In general the typical Morgellons patient has a compromised immune system, also weakened previsiously by protozoan, bacterial, viral or other mycotical (fungal) infection, which can also be caused from own opportunistic pathogens.

The symptoms that occur after a longer ongoing infestation of 6-12 months and upon physical condition of the host favours also, common alopecia (scalp, eye lashes, eye brows, legs) and grey hairs, formation of crusts, erythema, papulosa and skin nodes, excema, generally thinner skin and cellulitis, and reduction of collagen.

Most do experience also depigmentation pattern, irregular skin thickness, broken down skin areas, aging features of the skin similar to after effects of acute intensive sun baths. Negrotic skin tissue (legs, feet, ankles etc.).

Well visibile also the tiniy holes on these white spots which are caused from a fungal infection

INTERNAL SYMPTOMS:

As well gastrointestinal difficulties (failure), unexplainable back pain, coughs, rigid neck and other parts, also a generally decreased ocular ability with keratitis inflammation (red inflammed eyes) and a progressive parodontal disease (tooth decay) and gum detoriations.

Deep furrows on the tongue and outflow of parasites from the eyes (Lymph system)

Most cases include edemas, swollen legs, face etc. (lymph), later also swollen glands and lymph nodes and difficulty in breathing, heart and liver problems (insufficiency) and a constant weariness, as well internal and external fungal infections (candida etc.) and urological problems.

Swollen feet and black ankles and infection of the eye (keratitis)

Similar symptoms and particullary Meninigitis/Encephalitis might be caused not only from lyme but mostly from viruses as Varizella, Coxsackie, Enterovirus, EBV (Ebstein-Barr Virus), Herpes simplex Typ 2, LCM-virus, HIV. As well from other bacteria such as enterobacteria (E.coli) Streptococcus group B, and Listeria monocytogenes:

MORE INFO:

In the winter month, the illness somewhat slows down, unless one is constantly in warm areas, whereby during the day and in the evening a stronger infestation phase is noted more, as well more during night time.

Generally one can say that in the summer a propagation is more higher and more likely although the active life span of this fungus (biofilm). Also at night a higher symptomatic is present and in the morning hours. Certain hormonal levels of the host body seems to play also a certain role in connection with higher sweating and stronger infestations.

It is dangerous to assume that certain areas of the body are not infested just because one cannot see lesions. Most likely most of the different life forms are settled in close proximity to terminal hairs (hairs visible to the human eye) and areas which sweat which are different in different peoples. Some may sweat more in the area around the chin, while others are more prone towards the nose, forehead, cheeks or feet etc.

An infestation of genital areas is taken seldom place, but around and or on the top of penis, clitoris. On the scalp or forehead, one recognizes in the beginning only a slight bump, which can be a half inch in the diameter, or strips along the forehead where subcutaneously the skin has been devoured and thus causes a minimal indentation (damaged skin tissue, collagen).

The infestation is different with infants since their physical sweat glands are not yet so developed. The infestation is localized more in the head area where the fine hairs are a source of protein/keratin for the parasites. An infestation in and around the mouth, nose and ear areas are mostly present.
