I'm sorry...I was almost laughing. Just had to post the email I just received from a VET I sent some of my specimens to. Here it is: Susan, I have received and carefully examined the material you sent me. I can state with absolute certainty that there is no parasitic material present. The material appears to me to consist of skin rafts and comedones (blackheads). You might be experiencing delusional parasitosis and I encourage you to discuss your condition with your physician. You may be interested in the following website: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Formication As for your dog, monthly bathes with a shampoo recommended by your local veterinarian will help to keep your dog clean and should minimize any mild dermatitis. I wish you the very best in addressing this condition. DGB David G. Baker, D.V.M., M.S., Ph.D., Diplomate A.C.L.A.M.

Don't chew off your arm! You will need it when we start ringing necks....teehee. Did I say that out loud?? Tonie, I appreciate everything you are doing. I know it gets frustrating when something like this slaps us in the face. I am just trying to help you laugh because when I feel like that I need someone to make me laugh. I am sorry about the disappointment. Truly. All your efforts are ............well, there are no words for the gratitude I have towards you. YOU ROCK !!!

Cheetah!
YOU'RE right again, and thank you for the good laugh, that was great too! (( I'll need my arm for ringing necks! )) hehehe
It's so blatent how they flub up too, when they're trying to be convincing...
Oh, Oh...here's the best part of the letter, "the truth"...I don't have a dog!
I just said that...so they'd look at the specimens...I said me and my dog have a condition and a doctor said to contact you people, which that part is true, but not the dog, no dog.
So he said send the specimens.
He KNEW they were Morgellons...heck they know what it looks like now I'm sure...and then they go into "auto mode of saying DOP."

Yeah, how 'bout those doctors?!! They kill me, they really do. I told a nurse prac. that I thought I had parasites, didn't mention morg's, she said, "well, I don't think we're all walking around with worms!" Like it was just unthinkable, not even a remote possiblity. But, when I take my dogs to the vet and say I think they have worms. They say oh yes, and immediatley get a direct sample from their butts without blinking an eye. (haha get it) Of course the dogs are a little surprised. But it's the norm for dogs and totally unheard of in people-doctor-world. Now why is that? Why the heck is that?

Right. Isn't that as backwards as it can get, I sure agree, what is wrong with these doctors and their way of thinking. It's also common knowlegde too that many dog helminths etc are very contractable to human. I sure don't get it.

Tonie,
I had a weird thought last night about taking samples to the Vet & seeing if they could diagnose this stuff. The only problem is I don't have a dog! Do you think the Vets can tell the difference between dog poop & human?

Jeff,
I'm certainly not telling you what to do, so please refrain from telling me, my HUSBAND doesn't even tell me what to do, so get a grip on yourself please.
Also, I'm certainly NO dummy...so you're going to have to trust me, Morgellons is definately not a word ( I'm ) going to mention.

Our infections are not normal. I don't think it will do any good to send any samples to anyone. After all, this just doesn't exist - except that it does.
