Japanese housedust would seem to have little importance for those of us not living in Japan. However, for the record, sharing my info. I first got Morgellons while living in an old, incredibly moldy Japanese house. (Tiny mushrooms would sprout in my shoes overnight, my photos molded together, etc). When I got sick, suddenly this apartment was absolutely full of long fibers, as was my skin. I had to dust every 2 hours- but then more would be there. This apartment also had the complication of biting tatami spider mites. Mold and mites are common in Japan. This was in Tokyo. Recently, I returned to Japan, this time in a very rural, southern island. I was quite healthy and had the Morgellons nearly under control. Entering my apartment, I could see that once again, the corners and cracks were full of fiber dust. Sure enough, within 2 weeks the Morgellons was back. I was once again pulling tangled cocoons of fiber balls from my skin. Why is this relevant? Because it suggests the scenario that our fibers could be as simple as some kind of normal, ambient fungus dust that has perhaps made its way from Asia. I found comfort in that.

Hi In toyko, Yes, I agree. This (whatever it is that's so virulent) fungi of somekind - mutated or not, if it's in our environment it can re-infect (imho). I've seen these "little white particles" enter right back into the skin after they've come out. Don't know what they are, but they sure don't seem natural, or how quickly they can do this. So dust and things like that can harbor these (spores) or whatever they are very easily. I say spores because these particles act like spores, all they need is a warm body to make contact with, and they're in. Even sleeping on our pillows. If we don't keep our pillow cases cleaned daily, flecks and specks from our hair can come out of us, and back into the bed "imho" and then re-infect us anywhere they happen to re'enter the skin again. Glad you're doing much better.

Thanks Toni! Yes, it's such a strange condition. I agree that it must be some kind of spore. ...
