New AIDS Epidemic? Body Bugs

[djSlvt]

A new epidemic? Body Bugs are real, but medical community is having hard to time grasping with this reality, just like they did back during AIDS epidemic outbreak.

Bump!

So is this for real or what? I can't find anything on google

What's even more disturbing is that the majority of the medical community fails to acknowledge it's existence. That or they just wont say anything, which is pretty messed up. I feel bad for the people who are being told that they are just 'crazy'.

Google M0rgellons...

Trust me, this is far more disturbing than you could possibly imagine...it's the biggest unknown public health threat out there now. It has all the makings of the next Plague.

Thanks for the links wayword. I haven't read too far into this yet, but from what I gather this only happens to people with a weak immune system. I don't think theres much to worry about, if you're infected just switch up your diet and excercise - the body should naturally heal itself from these bugs, right!?

Well, this is still in the exploration and research stage so I think little is known for sure.

But, yes it generally infects those with weak immune systems. Although, I believe it could be directly vectored into healthy people too through bug bites like Lyme Disease (which it also seems to be correlated to). Because bug bites bypass your defenses straight into your bloodstream.

Again, everyone has their own theory and I don't know that any have been proven for sure. You'll notice that that one thread on the biology forum went on for 600+ PAGES...until it was finally locked! That is UNPRECEDENTED for ANY topic. So, clearly there is something out there and that is hotly debateable.

But from what I've read so far, I would be very careful to avoid bed bugs or any areas with a lot of small biting insects. Particularly areas outside with a lot of tall grass and possibly some lakes as well. This disease is found most commonly in the South from CA to FL...but has also been found in all states and other countries as well too. And of course, get real healthy and keep your immune up too. Protect yourself - because the CDC is still in "lie & deny" mode about all this.

Great stuff guys. I'll forward link to this thread to WSVN 7.

 

[Potbelly]

lmao why do people think they know more about diseases than the CDC? ****y people lol

Tell that to those actually suffering from it.

ok, but my parents told me not to talk to crazy people :nono:

 

[Monster]

I read about it somewhere and it is one of those medical mysteries that hasn't quite been figured out yet. There is debate as to whether they are just fibers or whether they actually are parasitic creatures.

 

[~attrACTION~]

Yeah, maybe that woman in the video shouldn't have been jumping in a lake. Idiots.

And that doctor looked like he had more serious health conditions to worry about than bugs. That guy needs to eat something!

Just take showers daily and I highly doubt you'll get that disease. How gross and stupid.

 

[Potbelly]

She's probably obese and has a crap diet. How the hell do you even scrape your skin off onto a slide? I tried to scratch some skin off my arm and nothing comes off. She's just unhealthy and unhealthy people get parasites.

Swimming lady --> parasites from lake
Skin old man --> parasites from animals in home and malnourishment once again
Original lady --> bad diet, obese, probably not a lot of sun

 

[Potbelly]

I can't help but add that the "spokesperson" for the society of infested people or whatever that insignificant group is called has no background in anything medical whatsoever.

Also, the original lady's husband is an idiot. How are flies "unusual" bugs? People have ticks if they are dirty, dont wash their hair, hang around dogs, etc.

 

[djSlvt]

Yea. Let the teenage experts speak now. We are interested in this so much.

 

[Drum&Bass]

Yeah, maybe that woman in the video shouldn't have been jumping in a lake. Idiots.

I use to swim in lakes all the time when I was younger..my parents who lived in a developing country swam in lakes most of their lives. EVERYONE IN OUR FAMILY IS IN TOP PHYSICAL HEALTH no parasites whatsoever.

 

[bigjohnson]

It's on the Internet so it must be true. Right? RIGHT???!?

I think it would be prudent to be hesitant towards there being an epidemic or approaching epidemic.

For one, journalists are alarmist by nature. Turn on almost any newscast and you will hear about the latest danger of the week--I wouldn't be surprised if next week it's dangerous to sit in a chair. Journalists are gullible, have the task of regularly filling in the news gap, and they have resumes to build. They are all on the beach sifting through sand looking for the big golden beach ball.

Second, the claim of "epidemic" is based upon a few thousand people who self-diagnosed themselves.

Third, Occam's scalpel slices that before you define a new disease you must first rule out known diseases. People with this "disease" are diagnosed with a wide range of disorders, there is no one symptom which everyone has, and different people supposedly have different bugs of different species--flies, ticks, worms, etc. Diseases can be caused by different strains of bacteria or viruses but those are variations of the same basic organism and it seems a far stretch to claim entirely different organisms are causing the same disease.

The Youtube video linked atop this thread must be outdated because one year ago the CDC did launch an investigation. Before the investigation was launched, it should be readily easy to see why the CDc was justifiably hesitant to expend their resources on the claims of a small handful of people whom give their doctors ziplock bags of what appears to be carpet fiber and whom may more plausibly have a known disease. Also, both the New England Journal of Medicine and the Journal of the American Medical Assocation make no mention of "morgellon"... are we then to suppose they, too, are in on the "conspiracy"?

There is a galaxy of parasites out there; scrape the skin of any healthy individual and under a microscope you will see it swarming with life. I am no doctor and thus will leave the question to medical organizations of whether a new disease exists... but not journalists, not their write-in patients, and most definitely not conspiracy theory buffs.
