Hi All,
I want to share my story to help others that may believe they have Morgellons like I did but it turned out to be something known. Please forgive my punctuation and spelling because I am on my cell and auto correct can be a trouble makereading plus I am typing with my thumbs.
My symptoms started in 2010 I believe with the gnats but it probably started in 2004 when I started have all kinds of stomach issues and I hurt my back which happened to easily.
I started noticing gnats that seem to bite and a feeling of a feather brushing my skin plus other types of insects from tiny beetles to springtails.
We thought we had a bug problemail and had a exterminator come out and they identify lots of insects and they even found rats and so many fleas from the previous tenants who had dogs.
So we had the place spread but they don't kill gnats so it was up to my to figure that out. I had Vector Control come out and I gave them a ton of gnats in a bottle I made with eggs in it which attracted the ones in my house.
They identified everything from Aphids to phorid flies and fruit flies plus grain beetles.
They said they have had hundreds of completes about different flies but I was the first one who caught any to show them. At this point the gnats were driving me crazy and still are 7 years later but they helpful because they have had so many complaints and would come by to get new samples when I called them.
One night after giving our 2 year son a bath mommy was cleaning his ears and there was a black speck on the q-tip so I sent that in and told them were it came from and they said it was a phorid fly. Not cool at all, my poor baby boy. Well my wife was a animal control officer and worked on a farm and said we need to use Bag Balm which is used on animals to help their skin. I put it on my face and when I wiped it off I noticed dozens and dozens of what looks like fibers. They matched every morgellon picture I have seen online.
I sent the napkin I wipe my face with to Vector Control and when they called me back they said they couldn't tell what it was because all they could see were different insect parts. He couldn't identify any of the parts so I asked him, are you sure they are insects, he said 100%... I was in kind of shock and said that can't be, that came from my skin.
Well he said he doesn't believe that unless my doctor took samples to send him which I told my doctor and asked if she could send it to him. Well my doctor really thinks I am off my rocker and said no plus they won't talk to me at Vector Control anymore.
So I am back to square one and dealing with Fatigue, brain fog, pain everywhere and trying to solve my health mystery and trying to keep the gnats away. I went to a dermatologist and told him and said I may have Myiasis and he told me I am crazy plus I said I must have a bad fungal infection to attract so many fruitflies and that's when he asked me if I heard voices. I said yes I hear one telling me your a not a very nice person and got up and left.
I have a very high white blood cell count and have been checked for lupus to cancer when my doctor sent me to a Oncologist.
Well I as many are am desperate to get better and find a understanding doctor so I go to a new one after my primary yelled at me for asking her to test me for lyme and she screams, you don't have lyme disease. I have been tested for that and I don't have that either because my beware doctor is trying to help.
I have lost everything I have worked so hard for and even went in front of a Judge for disability which I was denied twice now. I don't go out much and never see friends anymore, I sold my show truck and my show Chopper for almost nothing just to pay basic bills and on top of that I worry for my family who show signs of this as well which with fibers covering my house and car even after cleaning it was bound to happen.
So like so many I have tried some good home remedies but one day I did some new stuff about a year ago and I was in shock at my was going on with my body. I felt something in my eye and got my cellphone camera to see with that because I wasn't close to a mirror and noticed a small white threadlike coming out of my eye and I hit record. I also had to go to the bathroom and what I saw there was also shocking, there were grape size eggs and white worms in my stool. I started to get squiggly marks in my skin where I have issues and bitting the most like my eyelids.
In shock and not knowing what to do, I had my wife to me to the ER, she is mad at me saying I am crazy and wouldn't watch the video. Well the ER wasn't any help, they asked if I was on meth and wouldn't watch the video. I went home and the next day coughed up some gross stuff and I felt incredible for the first time in so many years, my skin looked great and I had energy plus the gnats left me alone. They was the best 2 weeks in years because it slowly came back and with major stomach pain.
I at least had blood work done at the ER and my white blood cell count was 12.5 for the first time in over 10 years. It was 26.5 2 weeks before that so it went down almost over night.
My doctors office called me and asked if I was okay because they got a call from the ER Doctor and said they wanted to see me right away.
Well the day before I went in I coughed up a good size worm that was still moving and recorded that as well. So when I went in to see my doctor who knows my background listened to me and watched my recordings and he saw the worm coming out of my eye right off the bat. He put me on Albendozal 7 days on 7 days off and 7 days on again. He also had me get stool kit to take to the lab. Well I finished my meds which seem to only help a little so I called and told him it didn't work and I was still having issues.
I am able to expel these worms and see oblong, round and oval eggs that are the size of grapes and send them to the lab and they keep coming back negative for any parasites. There is a reason for that which I will get to later.
I had a bunch of different collection kits the lab gave me and this time I had another egg so I thought I will stop by a Veterinarian office by me to see if they had seen it before. The vet came out and the first thing he says when he looked at my tube was I see you are bringing me a parasite. I was excited, someone who knows what this is!!! I instantly asked, you have seen this before? He said yes, where did it come from. I wasn't thinking because I said from me, what is it. He says, oh I am.not a human doctor and I can't diagnose that for you. He went from hero to zero instantly with me when he said that. He said well I can tell you it is very common in Cattle and he has seen it plenty. He said I can tell you it is a roundworm egg and to go home and did look up roundworm and hookworms because they are always together.
Well 1w stool samples and still no answer so I called the lab to talk to a lab tech and asked them why can't they see this and they told me they put it in a machine that reads this and they never see the samples sent. They said I need to request a visual ID test so they can look at what I sent them. The eggs very in shape which match the shape of many morgellon lesions I have seen.
This part blew me away, while telling the lab tech about what's been going on she said she has had the same problem with roundwormswith her horses over the years and knows right away when they get pot bellies and she sees gnats all around the horses and mostly the eyes and ears. She said the horses wear the covers over their eyes and ears to keep the flies out of the eyes and ears. It is always a problem when horseshe have roundworms to attract every kind of gnats there is from Aphids to grain beetles.
There is a ton to read about the biology and connection between nematodes and gnats, they have a symbiotic relationships, they attracted the gnats which see a UV spectrum so they can spread like bees and pollen. I also found out that gnats don't actually lay eggs inside of the skin, the circle around and lay eggs on the skin with a glue like substance that sticks these little eggs to the skin which will cause itching and this is very well known to happen with animals and just hasn't been observed in humans yet.
I hope this may helps some that maybe suffering the same as me and possibly be the actual cause of morgellons. I sent a paper to published about this and hope to see it soon enough but until then I will share what I can, not enough time tonight to write all the details and my thumbs are sore. Just reply with any questions and I will do my best to answer and as soon as I get the results of the ID test I will post it. There can be 6 different types of roundworms living in cattle each in there own body part so who knows what will be found.
