Morgellons Disease and Its Association with Spirochetes and Lyme Disease

Abstract

Morgellons' pathophysiology is uncertain, threads ring, embed, or extend from the skin. Parasitism was traditionally considered a delusional illness. A Caucasian and female majority of 3.65 per 100,000 individuals in North California. Skin development, with or without cutaneous lesions, is a prominent symptom, affecting patients' health. Recent serological and clinical research tying Morgellons to Lyme corroborate its somatic nature. Borreliosis (Morgellons disease) causes skin sores in the hoof. Cattle with BDD have burgdoferi antigen reactivity. Lyme disease is spread by infected ticks. This inspired spirochete-Morgellons research. Fatigue, arthralgia, and neuropathy are Morgellons symptoms. The study revealed that it can be seen seed-like things or specks in lesions and healthy skin, as well as thin thread-like fibers in lesions and healthy skin. Morgellons illness causes filaments in hair follicle roots. They are cellular in nature, not textile in origin. Morgellons fibers have a crest that suggests they are vegetative spirochetes. Spirochetes can adapt and alter their shape. Borrelia can form a biofilm-like aggregation that is drug-resistant. If enlarged 50 times or more, they resemble textile strands.
