Morgellons Disease is a debilitating skin disease that is affecting hundreds of thousands of people from all walks of life.  Because a small research project was unable to find the cause of this debilitating skin disease, the CDC originally labeled patients with a mental illness called "Delusional Parasitosis."  Healthy people with no known mental disorders were dismissed and diagnosed as having a shared mass delusion from the internet.  Their symptoms and skin manifestations were often the same even though, many resided in different parts of the country and world.  Due to the stigmatization caused by the CDC, most people with Morgellons suffer in silence and don't receive any medical care.  In recent years the CDC has acknowledged that it is a real disease, but without further research, Morgellons is still often incorrectly associated with Delusional Parasitosis.
