How To Get your Life Back From Morgellons and O<strong>the</strong>r <strong>Skin</strong> <strong>Parasites</strong><br />

son from being infected with <strong>the</strong>m--limited physical contact and<br />

disinfection of his room. Except for my brief remission period when<br />

<strong>the</strong> symptoms disappeared, our wrestling matches on <strong>the</strong> living room<br />

floor had come to a halt, holding him close and even rides on my<br />

shoulder had stopped. I hoped that he wouldn't grow up with some<br />

kind of complex--Daddy's close and <strong>the</strong>n far away and <strong>the</strong>n close<br />

again and <strong>the</strong>n far away. I feared that if I had explained it to him, he<br />

would have told his mom, and knowing how over reactive she could<br />

be, she would have complicated things even more. After our summer<br />

vacation was over and he returned home, I stopped <strong>the</strong> garlic and was<br />

completely free of symptoms for seven glorious days when I began<br />

noticing some symptoms--first I thought my mind was playing tricks<br />

and <strong>the</strong>n during a business trip to Chicago <strong>the</strong> symptoms returned in<br />

full force. Back to <strong>the</strong> garlic once more.<br />

As most doctors in <strong>the</strong> U.S. limit <strong>the</strong>mselves to plug samples<br />

(biopsies) and blood tests, I wonder if it's possible that everyone who<br />

is diagnosed with folie a deux, folie a tois, and acarophobia actually<br />

have an infestation of some kind of skin parasites, mites and or skin<br />

fungus. Not that <strong>the</strong>y do, but is it possible? Chapter VI gives <strong>the</strong><br />

results of a study which confirmed my suspicions—<strong>the</strong>y found that<br />

90% of those classified as “delusional” do indeed have a parasitic<br />

infection. So I was left to find <strong>the</strong> answers to my plight on my own.<br />

My Own Analysis<br />

It seemed that I was dealing with at least two types of parasites--ones<br />

that itched and bit everywhere, but didn't leave any visible bites—at<br />

least as long as I was taking regular hot (almost scalding) baths 2-to-3<br />

times a day. I've since been told that an ice bath would be more<br />

effective, but I don't know if I'd be capable of taking an ice bath. And<br />

<strong>the</strong> second type were <strong>the</strong> parasites that left mosquito-like bites<br />

(papules) that never went away. The latter would shortly develop into<br />

an ulceration of <strong>the</strong> skin and swell to look like and itch like a mosquito<br />

bite but never go away except to become hard and gelatinous. With<br />

some of <strong>the</strong>se sites I'd end up with a sharp pain like a crab's pincers<br />

biting me under <strong>the</strong> skin which led me to believe it was some kind of<br />

bug. But <strong>the</strong>n I sometimes wondered if it were a fungus that apparently<br />
