 [h3]Rare disease causes "wires" to grow out of sores         [/h3] [a href="http://www.morgellonsusa.com/morgellonsusa.html"]Morgellons disease[/a] is a rare illness (characterized by some as a [a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Morgellons#Delusional_parasitosis"]delusion[/a]) that has struck South Texas -- it causes incredibly painful lesions that sprout little "wires" of fiber, and never heal. It's painful and has no cure, and some victims commit suicide to escape the pain: [blockquote]Patients get lesions that never heal. "Sometimes little black specks that come out of the lesions and sometimes little fibers," said Stephanie Bailey, Morgellons patient. [/p] Patients say that's the worst symptom — strange fibers that pop out of your skin in different colors. [/p]"He'd have attacks and fibers would come out of his hands and fingers, white, black and sometimes red. Very, very painful," said Lisa Wilson, whose son Travis had Morgellon's disease. [/p]While all of this is going on, it feels like bugs are crawling under your skin. So far more than 100 cases of Morgellons disease have been reported in South Texas.

The real trouble with reality is that there's no background music.

...religion has made some contributions to civilization. It helped in the early days to fix the calendar, and it caused Egyptian priests to chronicle ecplipses with such care that in time they were able to predict them. These two services I am prepared to acknowledge, but I do not know of any others

Funny you should mention that.

There are some who believe this disease was carried to Earth by meteorites from another planet. No joke.

Google it.
For thou art with me; thy cream and thy sugar they comfort me
Thou preparest a carafe before me in the presence of Juan Valdez
Thou anointest my day with pep; my mug runneth over
Surely richness and taste shall follow me all the days of my life
And I will dwell in the house of coffee forever.
