creepy unknown dieases in mainsteam America? The CDC or USAMRID would be all over this in a second just like the 4 corners mystery dieases a few years ago(turned out to be caused by dried mouse urine uugh) From the lack of intrest of these groups I have my doubts about this dieases being real most likly it is delusional parasitosis.

CDC to investigate mystery disease

The Bay Area might be home to a small cluster of a horrifying and as-yet-incurable disease that leaves patients with open sores all over their bodies and strange, unidentifiable objects poking out of their skin.

Or not. It's possible that this mystery disease is all in their heads.

The disease is called Morgellons, and no one knows what causes it or if it's even real.

After more than a year of pressure from patients convinced they have Morgellons, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention will begin investigating the ailment for the first time and determine, once and for all, whether it exists. The CDC started organizing a committee this week for that purpose.

Indeed. Then apply:

The probability of some internet moron making snarky comments over an extremely vaguely-worded hypothesis of mine is different from the probability of me making an extremely vaguely-worded hypothesis over the snarky comments of some internet moron.

Although there is a definite relationship between the two, described by Bayes' Theorem.

Doctors slow to recognize mysterious disease
Victims of Morgellons suffer real symptoms but accused of delusions


JACK CALAWAY
Special to the Observer

In 1979 Charlotte businessman Marc Iverson fell ill from a mysterious, debilitating ailment. Many doctors didn't believe his symptoms were real, much less the herald of a new disease.

Because symptoms didn't fit any established medical models, physicians couldn't make a definite diagnosis. That was a crushing blow for Iverson, a corporate vice president crippled at age 28.....

I've actually read into this. Don't know what quite to think of it. The was some baseball player who supposedly had it and it pretty much forced him to retire. The CDC is looking into it.

You can always expect the unexpected from me :)
I watched an ABC broadcast on this condition recently , personally I don't find anything very dellusional about the physical symptoms or the patients interviewed.
What I find interesting was this link http://www.starchildproject.com
I read alot of bizzare stuff but I also remember that there was a crop circle in 2001 or 2002 that contained a binary message regarding human DNA codes changing and that silica was added to a list of critical compounds
